TO THE PUBLICK. 

IT is with diffidence that I arise to address you 
on so important a subject. When I behold the ex- 
tent of the congregation brought to view, and the 
skill of many wits as w r ell as literary men, exhausted, 
and under its burden fall back to the shades of re- 
tirement, unsatisfied with the research, but one thing 
gives me a gleam of hope, (the liberty of speech, the 
liberty of conscience, and the liberty of the press,) to 
express myself in common with those wits and litera- 
ry men, and none dare molest or make afraid : how- 
ever far I should differ from them in opinion, and an 
£cjual principle of charity with those who have gone 
before, do I plead a patient hearing, seeing each of 
they who have gone before have guessed whatever 
they listed in relation to the doctrinal points brought 
to view in my subject; each have had their time and 
distance of place for to set up their faith and prac- 
tice under a free constitution. Each one have 
brought forward, silver shrines, or adjectives of 
communication, to indent in the human mind their 
subject matter of discassion, and as I am born under 
the same constitution, protected by the same laws, { 
plead the same license, for "who maketh thee to dii- 
fer;" for "hath not the potter power over the clay,*' 
&c. As it is not my intention to be an apologist, but 
to attend to a plain dealing of the subject matter oi 
discussion, I shall here submit it, under a deep sense 
of solemnity and Godly fear, when it shall be sub- 
scribed by 

the publick's humble servant, 

JOSEPH CHADDOCK.

THE 

OFFICE WORK OF A MEDIATOR 

EXPLAINED, &c. 



Men in all ages have had different opinions concer- 
ning religious and political matters ; but hark a lit- 
tle and 1 will show you my opinions ; then in order to 
establish a ground work of a plan upon a foundation 
that cannot be moved, let us begin at the bottom 
stone and there build upon that stone, as gold, silver, 
or precious stones, and at the same time imploring 
the blessing of Almighty God for directions. As vre 
are created after the image of God, let us once con- 
sider the attitude, or form of our existence, and 
from that make such deductions as are necessary: 
we come into the world under the power of election* 
as God created all things male and female, as. an elec- 
tor and electoress, as an issue joined and pronounced 
that relation good, or "very good ; ,? and "it is not good 
for man to be alone," &c. My object, in some meas- 
ure, will be to show my readers the idea of this unity, 
or how a male and female relation is better than one 
alone, and strive to liquidate how' much better two- 
are than one, as they have a good reward of their la- 
bour, agreeable to the wise man Solomon, who hath 
said, Eclesiastes 4th Chapter, "and if two lie togeth- 
er they have heat, 55 &C. Agreeable to mynrst^dec- 
laration we come into the world under the powers of 
election ; sexative or sexual governmental relation; 
this doctrine of friction, election, trine, cros§, or trin- 
ity, which terms are synonymous, are equal in nature 



but not equally understood. I shall endeavour to 
treat of those terms in the sequel of my discourse 
according to the best of my ability, making use of 
terms peculiar to the declaration now before us, hav- 
ing no reference to compliments, tradition, repetition, 
or stories of our mummies, either ancient or modern 
asking no leave of absence in departing from terms 
and style of my predecessors, however far they may 
differ from me in opinion, as I endeavour to treat the 
subject in a general, and not in a particular point of 
view. In order to set forth original or native ideas, 
to expand the minds of my readers, to behold the 
unity of creation, beauty, and exellency of our Crea- 
tor in displays of justice and equality; in all his ra- 
tional or irrational, intelligent or unintelligent crea- 
tion, that we praise him for his goodness for ever, and 
as I now drop my advertisement and proceed to an 
exhibition of the subject in rotation, as it is my chief 
object to raise the mind to its primitive attitude by 
these primitive ideas, that it be in that relation 
wherewith it might be said with propriety, after the 
image of God created he them; The attitude, &c. 
we all come into the world in a mediatorial form, as 
4wo numbers given to find a third. We are born into 
the world under the powers of sexative election be- 
tween an elector and eiectoress, on or under the laws 
of sexual government, as a mediator equalizer, bring- 
ing the two natures to an agreement according to the 
laws of nature at our birth; whereas it can but be 
acknowledged our lawful attitude is mediatorial ; 
whereas we comes into the world possessed of five 
senses from which our judgment is formed ef things 
"natural and spiritual, things animal and vegetable ; 
these senses are jpessessed of delicacies which must 
be supported. Hence the God of our existence has 
prepared these senses in a cage or fleshly body and 
given us a day of probation that these senses may be 



improved ; for when I was a child I thought as a child 
but when I become old I put away childish things. 
That God hath given these five talents feeling, see- 
mg, hearing, tasting, and smelling for improvement, 
needs no comment, and it is our duty to make use of 
all the means in our power as helps, to the end we 
may improve those talents or senses that we be ena- 
bled to return them to the author of our being with 
usury. God hath created other delicacies to sup- 
port these other delicacies before mentioned, as the 
great variety of animals, together with the vegetable 
creation to subserve the use of man ; and these bles- 
sings only flow from the earth, by a proper dressing 
of the same: and the earth in a great measure in pro- 
portion as it is dressed or cultivated : the inheritance 
w r as divided at the beginning between the two first 
sons of Adam, Cain and Abel; Cain was a tiller of the 
ground, Abel a keeper of sheep; so one was not the 
others keeper; each one took care of his own ; and as 
it is lawful to trade and get gain one of another, it 
seems all men almost as soon as they are born come 
into this compact agreement to trade and get gain one 
of another. Serious evils have arose from this pos- 
ition and has been seen by men of discernment; and 
to check these evils have formed a compact as one 
family, to have and hold all things common as one 
joint interest; so trading and trafficing in this point 
of view became vain and useless as it respects this 
compact, for what is ones is the others also. But as 
all men do not possess this oneness of heart therefore 
have not that oneness of interest ; and if they have 
not that oneness of heart, it is to be feared when they 
essay to unite their interest keeps back a part there- 
of, and be found like Annanias and Saphirah when 
they hove down the money at the apostles' feet: my 
object is to show my readers the reason of action af- 
ter coming into the world j that is, we possess the five 



8 

operations or senses, and we set about accumulating 
a competent share of delicacies for their support: 
and that this is right and acceptable, that a man 
should provide things decent and honest in the sight 
of all men, making use of the benefits and blessings 
God hath bestowed upon him; and hence it is necessary 
that we have civil government to regulate vhe morals 
of any compact or society; if they trade in order to 
get gain one of another or dwell in unity without this 
trade and exchange, the civil law is necessary, in or- 
der to the peace and harmony of any society. 

In order for a further proof of the subject we will 
investigate the pursuit of man, which is election, or 
governmental relation, which governmental relation, 
as it is acknowledged of the United States, is a fed- 
eral republic, sexative, elective orgenerative; hence 
we see the President of the United States existing 
between a practical majority and practical minority, 
so that he is under this express injunction to honor his 
practical father and practical mother, from which 
he received this practical state of being*, as a pres- 
ident raised up from this issue joined at the head of 
the one, and the ket of the other, as much as he is 
under the injunction to honour his natural lather and 
natural mother, from which he received his natural 
state of being, from a natural parentage. ' 

Here I state my figures or metaphors are in unison 
to prove that the organ of man is election, and this 
pursuit of man is election, as two adjectives or hiero- 
glyphic figures to prove that two are better than one. 
If two lie together they have heat, also having a good 
reward of their labour &c. 

The third witness, by the mouth of two or three 
witnesses, every word shall be established : the third 
is in unison with the two former. All nature exists by 
election, as an elector and electoress under the pow- 
er of friction, as an issue f oined. when we take cos:- 



oizance of the form of the earth agreeable to its geo- 
graphical figure, it is a globe. Next enquiry, what is 
its natural divisions ? an equinoctial line divides two 
equal hemispheres as equal as the sexes are ; not 
equal because no motion could issue of the blood in 
the veins, but standing in a male and female relation 
as the animal creation does. 

And when we inquire of the astronomer the neces- 
sary motion for an existence, he tells us that the two 
motions of the earth stand sexative or sexual to each 
other; which two motions annually and hourly pro- 
duce a sexual friction on each other, which friction 
is produced from the material elements, earth and 
water; the other two elements, fire and air, proceed 
from the motion or friction of the other two material 
•ones which friction creates, and in proportion to the 
actor and actress engaged which I shall contend may 
be seen a division of universal creation; and from this 
issue joined proceeds the universal fountain of heat & 
light, the sun, moon, and stars in their several orders 
receiving their diversified positions from thedifference 
in which nature stands to each other; which universal 
friction or diversified heat, gives life and animation to 
the animal and vegetable world. If we are further in- 
quisitive concerning his knowledge his answer is can- 
did and plain ; says he two numbers are given to 
find a third, or answer, as two numhers or quotients; 
says he, then I take the sovereign bill of the earth 
from the best maps and charts, as to ascertain its giv« 
€n quantity, as one quotient, and take the mariners 
log-book of the ocean, with their different sources 
and learn its quantity also as the other given number^ 
and from these two find the sexual motion or necessa- 
ry motions of existence,from which I record my intelli- 
gence. And that all nature stands in certain relation to 
one another we may learn from the same rule of legal 
reason, that is, the disposition of all nature is in a cer- 



10 

fain relation when a Cesar was born, and in another 
ways disposed when a Pope Alexander was born, so 
differently disposed when a Bonaparte, a Washing- 
ton, a Franklin born &c. That universal nature is 
in, or on, one steady progression, needs no comment; 
and that the position or deposition of nature varies 
in progressive order; therefore supposes no two ten- 
ses or times alike or at one and the same time, it is 
either past, present or future,so that no two plants can 
begin to germinate and grow at one and the same time, 
nor neither can any two animals intelligent or unin- 
telligent, manor beast; therefore the creation re- 
ceives its diversity or diversified state of being from 
the variation of planetary system in a progressive re- 
lation, having an influence on the visage ot the body 
and visage of the mind. As the disposition of universal 
nature is at the coition when the child is first form* 
ed upon that sexual cross, so is the nature of that 
child, and as the sexual division of the frame of the 
universe, so is the sexaal relation of any parentage 
under the whole heaven ; one is brought in agree- 
ment with the other, and for the want of the knowl- 
edge of this division, all men, or quite a majority, have 
groaned in fetters or chains of ignorance until now; it 
is that we are so entwined from the first foetus, that we 
have not the knowledge of the first cause of our na- 
tural and spiritual position or attitude ; so being born 
into the world like a wild ass colt are made to sub- 
serve the purposes of avarice and luxury and the 
more unlearned and untaught, the more subservient 
to a distinguished few. The knowledge of the trine 5 
trinity, or cross has been kept from the common peo- 
ple by the unerring providence of almighty God. 
Can we not acknowledge God in it? has not the 
whole world been kept in a state of debate until now. 
on a state of trial ? has no Sampson caught the Fox- 
es, according to the divine word; has he not tied them 



11 

tail to tail and sent them through the Philistines 
corn with fire brands between ? 

Lest I should seem to take too great licence in 
making my communication, as respects terms of con- 
veyance, I will explain wyself a little. The word ass 
and word fox, have quite opposite meanings attach- 
ed to them ; the word ass is a word made use of by 
our ancients to express ignorance, from the awk- 
wardness and stiflf-neekedness of that beast. Hence 
Sampson make use of the figure of expression in a 
prophetic sense; he had slain a thousand men with 
the jaw-bone of an ass, heap upon heap he had slain 
a thousand men. Balaam's ass cried out, &c. The 
term fox signifies crafty, subtle, cunning, and as far 
from righteousness as ignorance, and as impolitic. and 
prejudicial to the peace and harmony of society j 
therefore as Sampson judged, Israel was led to this 
policy of standing between tne two opposite ex- 
tremes, as he was by the lad between two principal 
pillars of the Philistine temple in order to throw it 
down, so has put forth his riddle on promise of a 
pledge in case it be guessed, and if not, a like pledge 
to be made over by the multitude. Sampson caught 
three hundred foxes and tied them tail to tail, and put 
fire-brands between, and sent them through the Phi- 
listines corn. Here Sampson speaks quite in a plural 
sense : '-Philistines corn," &c. To proceed — Samp- 
son's riddle has been put forth lor trial of these 
guessers, for seven full days : referring to the seven 
ages of the world, and some have presumed to 
guess in one age and some in another, in as much as 
there has been something like three hundred gue^s- 
ers alluding to that riddle — reference being had to 
the riddle; and how many more whose sums of 
guessing being liquidated, does not amount to a 
guess, but a certain enmity of their own nature? 
Nothing more nor less than seditious persons, hav* 



12 

ing no regard to the peace and safety of civil society, 
therefore are not reckoned as guessers of tha* 
riddle. 

Suffice it to say, that all denominations of people, 
from the first to the last, shall be, are impmnelled as 
guessers, even in their best estates ; and how many 
there are that do not deserve the appellation, is un 
certain. The most we can say concerning them, 
their hypocrisy will be brought to light, and when 
we present our articles of faith to the world as gen- 
tlemen and ladies of the world, is it so or is it not so? 
he cautious that ^our practice accord with your pro- 
fessions; this alone possesses more persuasion that the 
declamation of a thousand ready writers: is it not 
the declamation of every denomination of religious 
professors, "let us go to and build us a tower whose 
top shall reach to heaven ?" is it not that their language 
is confounded and the work hindred ; do we not hear 
eflo! hear and lo! their diversions and contentions 
concerning this great work ; do we not see them tail 
to tail making sacrifice of the Philistines corn. The 
Philistine supposes heathens, heathen foreign, foreign 
from what ? what is ihe subject matter of discourse of 
the scriptures ? God ; then it means, far from God, or far 
from righteousness ; the word minority Gentiles, have 
like reference. Is it not that these foxes have presum- 
ed to disturb the tender vines in search of prey ? 
whereas it is said -'beware of the litter of foxes," &«% 
What more shall I say as reasons of unity of the body 
•f these guessers, not foxes, for the exhortation is, 
•'beware of the foxes," &c. Is it not that God hath so 
tempered it together that that p^ri which lacketk 
hath more abundant honour; so when one mourns all 
the rest will mourn together with it and when one re- 
joices all the rest will rejoice together w r ith it, or is 
not the body knit together in a great sheet and corn- 
dared to all manner of wild beasts and creeping 



13 

things of the earth; and is it not the exhortation what 
God hath cleansed call thou not common or unclean; 
shall we not then take heed to our sayings lest we 
call that common which God hath cleansed, seeing 
that there are all manner referring to number or plu- 
rality. Is it notour duty then to be cautious how we 
judge others, however wild and diminutive they may 
be in view of our profession of the knowledge of God 
and Godliness, but each one like so many wise sculp- 
tures make their stone of profession shine, and ap- 
pear to the world a living stone. As my first object is 
to express the attitudeof existence, natural and prac- 
tical, I shall make use of such figures of expression 
or conveyance as I think best suited to the underta* 
king. As I said ask no leave of absence of any con= 
cerning stile or terms, it is very evident that the atti* 
tude of existence is electi* n, according to my first po- 
sition : admit it so — we will say something of politi- 
cal matters, which is due my hearers, according to 
my first engagement — reference being had to where 
it is said, hark a little and I will shew you mine 
opinion, &c. 

Secondly, of good and bad policy, all men in all 
ages are the same as to birth. They are born free 
and equal ; that is, no one possesses any inherent 
principle above another. AH nations that dwell up« 
on the face of the whole earth are of one flesh; but 
many may be born to fortunes while others are born to 
penury and want ; but it is useless to contrast these 
too conditions, seeing the difference is not inherent 
in their parentage, and that this difference is aR 
honest difference, I shall hereafter contend ; which 
difference comes through trade and barter, or trade 
and get gain one of another, which trade and barter 
has been kept up and continued from time imraemo* 
rial The question is, who can tell its jbeppiflgc 

3 



li 

This practical agreement to trade and barter has 
made the great difference among mankind. 

This has been the first grand practical movement 
of the whole family of Adam. As I said, they are 
agreed in this, but their great disagreement consists 
in moral justice, as respects this trade and barter 
Hence one man has slew another ; one society has 
slew another; and one nation another; each con- 
tending about moral justice. Let us take heed that 
we contend lawfully. Shall we then say that the 
United States is a piece or parcel of survey, and is 
the deeded property of certain individuals, and that 
it is their right, and theirs only, to join in counsel to 
say what they shall do to be saved from their ene- 
mies, both foreign and domestic? Otherwise the 
right of their deed would not be secured to them, al- 
so each one would have a lawful right to be heard in 
proportion to his possession, otherwise it would be 
an unfavourable compound, and also unprofitable 
and unequal ; and to have it unequal my friends 
would be bad policy. My object is to show to my 
readers the affirmative good policy which consists 
in equality, or justice. 1 said each one has a legal 
right to rule his own, and thus far and no farther 
But is this all Shall he not defend his own from 
eveiy supposed invasion, either foreign ordomestic? 
That is, he shall have a voice in framing a military 
law according to his inheritance ; and he shall pay 
tribute to defend that law according to his inheri- 
tance. So in framing the civil law, and defending 
also, and this I denominate good policy, for each 
would have a concern equal to his inheritance, and 
would be exercised for the piece and safety of the 
whole realm in proportion to what he possessed of 
that realm also. This would be c tiling on strength 
where there is strength ; and as each one has been 



15 

protected with his goods and chatties, is called on 
io pay for the defence thereof. Whether he owns 
half a million or only one shilling, it would be leck- 
oned according to his assessment bill, otherwise it 
would be an unlawful compact or compound. Shall 
we not take heed to our ways, and see if it is equal 
as a nation or not? and as we are compacted to* 
gether as a family of brother, or who ought to be 
such under this acknowledged relation, Federal Re- 
public, or United Republic. How can we expect 
to maintain this union while our ways is unequal ? 
There are no compounds bindings on the partv or 
parties of which a compact is made up, any farther 
than a fair and equal administration is continued, 
and a compound made up of three or four persons^ 
is as strong and binding on the parties as one form- 
ed of thirty million of men; the nature of one is the 
same of the other, and a dissolution is as possible and 
lawful on the one hand as the other, in case of un- 
fairness by any unequal administration, and hence 
any one has a right to u return oh ! Israel to thy 
tent" from whence compacts are formed, and as 
many as are aggrieved at any time, have a lawful 
right to desist from such compact, until such griev- 
ancies are redressed. All compacts or compounds 
are free; no man is bound to associate himself at 
any time, by any law under the whole heaven — it is 
a free thing; but when it is proved that he belongs 
to any compact, if such should be the case, that a 
man should deny his unity to any body or society 
associated together for business of any name or na- 
ture, or associated together for defence against their 
enemies, it would only be necessary to prove his a- 
greem^nt to the bye-rules of that society which were 
formed for operation, to make him holden to sup- 
port ail bye-rules or laws of said society, and share 



16 

in the !os9 that may accrue from an administration 
of such bye-laws, or share in the loss that may have 
been sustained by such society or compact, while 
legally prosecuting their business for which they are 
associated together; and in case any one denies his 
unity to the compact, and it cannot be proven ; his 
unity to the bye-laws when framed, of said society, in 
case of loss and damage by any means foreseen or 
unforeseen, he is not holden by any law ; and to 
suppose less than this, would be to destroy the un- 
alienable rights of man. Were twenty men to meet 
at an Inn for entertainment ; each calling according 
as their several wants may be ; one may call for five 
shillings ; another for ten ; another for twenty : an- 
other for fifty ; that is to say, they may call various- 
ly, as their necessity may require. I now ask the 
question of a candid public, has the Innkeeper any 
right to equalize their bills, without their consent ? 
and was this Innkeeper to proceed against those of 
bis host, before any court or jury, after so equaliz- 
ing the before mentioned bill, would not the defen- 
dant or defendants have a right to a non-suit in such 
case, on a plea of unequalization, and demand of the 
bill as each had severally received? whereas we have 
appeared in this great inn, the United States ; born 
into this Inn on different days and dates, and while 
associated together, or not while associated, or re« 
main as private individuals, possess certain goods and 
chatties collected into this great inn, under the care 
of the Innkeeper, the President of the United States, 
for protection against foreign and domestic invasion* 
I would now inquire of a candid public, if the great 
Innkeeper has a right to any degree whatever to 
equalize that bill or to call on each one as they have 
received protection, with their goods and chatties; 
and if the President of the United States by his aux- 



17 

iliaries was to call on any individual or individuals, 
after the sums of their bills of protection being liqui- 
dated, whether any individual or individuals would 
not have a legal right to protest all such bills on 
conviction ofit being all together unlawful and unjust, 
and at the same time, pray the great Innkeeper, the 
President of the United States, to use his utmost in- 
deavours to call by his auxiliaries for tribute, where 
tribute is due, and not where it is not due; and by 
bo doing call on strength where there is strength, 
and not where it is not, and unlawful too. I think 
says the inquirer that your declaration supposes 
good policy. 1 want to hear of it, seeing you seem 
to ask so many questions about the present policy. 
Then to proceed in relation we will say each one 
shall be heard in linking all the laws of this before 
mentioned inn or house, according to what he has to 
be protected ; and pay tribute to defend his goods 
and chatties from every supposed invasion, either 
foreign or domestic. As I have clearly shown their 
difference is not by nature inherent, but comes by 
trade and barter, and as possession varies, their right 
of control varies just in proportion ; and demand of 
defence increases in like proportion. 1 think 1 hear 
my opponent say as before, which I have taken the 
pains to answer in form, are we not equal ? is not 
one man as good as another? is not his life as dear 
to him as anothers? yes 1 admit it so, but this is 
nothing to the case, whatever we have appeared on 
this great chequer-hoard, the United States, for deal s 
or trade and traffic, one with another. 1 his is the 
prominent declaration among the family of the whole 
earth, having the civil law to produce an harmony 
amid a nation of brothers, associated for mutual 
benefit, as one compound or compact, and a mili- 
tary law to produce an harmony amongst nations, 

*2 



ihaf is to say, other nations shall n^f come upon us 
and take away our our property, and jeopardize our 
persons. These are the reasons why we thus com- 
pound our strength together; then to say that each 
shall pay tribute for every motion of defence, either 
civil or military, according to their possessions, 
whether one million or one dollar. Is it not fair, is 
it not equal, is it not right? And that each one be 
heard in the counsel according to his possession in 
framing all. not apart, of the laws of this great inn, 
or house goverment, or compact, whether he posses- 
es one million or one dollar. Is it not foir, is it not 
equal, is it not right ? is it not as fair as though two 
men owned a corn-field, one owned seven parts to the 
others three; the one owning the seven parts shall 
do seven parts of the labour to the others three, in 
the tillage of the ground, and cultivation of the crop, 
if he expectsseven parts of that crop. Or several men 
owning a vessel at sea worth one hundred thousand 
dollars, one owned four thousand, another sixteen 
thousand, another thirty-five thousand, another 
twenty-five thousand, so on, variously, as the case 
might require, until the one hundred thousand dol- 
lars of joint stock is taken up ; the question is, would 
it be an equal and desirable compound of each. One 
could not be heard as to what port this vessel should 
sail to, and under what captain, and with what goods 
laden with. If each should have an equal voice, 
without any regard to joint-stock, one as much as 
an other, we think it would be an unfavourable com« 
pact, for his properly, that is to say, one owning 
thirty-five thousand may be ill directed by one own- 
ing the four thousand. The vessel run upon the 
ehoals or rocks, or fall in with pirates, and be lost; 
Or if not wholly lost meet with damages foreseen or 
unforeseen! which damage must be made good* And 



19 

to call on all alike to make up the loss and damage^ 
without any reference being had as to Iheir several 
shares, would be unf-ur also. In this is my theory 
of good and bad policy. So in order to continue 
this, my theme of good policy, we say the possess- 
ors of this national vessel shall join in counsel ac- 
cording to each their possession, whether one mill- 
ion or one cent, according to each their assessment 
bill, in order to establish a military defence, under 
the expectation for each one to pay according to 
what he owns of the compact ; and say what we will 
or shall give unto all men, or any class of men, either 
five or six dollars, victuals and cloaths per month, to 
defend this joint interest, general stock of property, 
that other nation-* shall not come upon us and take 
away our property, and jeopardize our persons; to 
repel invasions, enforce laws, suppress insurrections. 
Next inquiry what on sending out our heralds or re- 
cruiting officers with the halloo, or news? What 
manner of men are going to fall in with these offers ? 
Are men of business, or those out of business loung- 
ing around places of deposit, such as stores, taverns, 
and distilleries ; and for the want of business fall in- 
to difficulty, and lastly go to state prison, because, 
in the scripture sense, no man hath hired us: and 
was they thus hired and put under regular discipline, 
kept from drinking themselves to death, and made 
sober, might render services more serviceable to the 
nation, and by it be respected by other nations as 
well as our own ; and for the want of this method, 
thousands are lounging from place to place, disturb- 
ing the peace of society, disgracing themselves and 
connections by dragging out their miserable lives in 
a state prison. And I would ask the question, is it 
not better for society at large, in case we have no 
war, to hire up all such lounging fellows that will be 



20 

hired at this rate, than to run the hazards we now 
run with iheir stealing, & robbing away our property* 
and lastly supporting them in a state prison. Can they 
not be organized to do something on the frontiers as 
well as at New- York or Auburn, these more inland 
places? Was the work that is now done at Auburn 
done at some prominent point of the United States, 
how much more would it be worth to the United 
States ? Here they would be hired up, and be en- 
joined; be content with their wages, and do violence 
to no man. This would be -plucking out the beam 
out of our own national eye,that we may be enabled 
tosee more clearly the mote in our neighbor nations 
eye. By doing this our nation is cleansed ; the peace 
and harmony of society restored ; and amounts to a 
legal thing. It makes a free thing of it. No man is 
bound to list, ft is on a principle of hire. There- 
fore the consent and signature of each one must be 
gained in'ordrrfor any one to be holden. And by 
so cleansing our nation we get the greatest benefit 
and the chief benefit war was ever intended to im- 
part to any nation. And here is quite a great saving 
of national character. Whereas it is better to be 
said by us, and other nations, that we have a respec- 
table army, well disciplined, than to have it said our 
society is corrupted by culprits of our own, and for- 
eigners fleeing from the hand of justice out of other 
governments, and lastly our state prisons thronged 
with them. Society would be benefited many ways, 
especially in the sacrifice, in case we have got to go 
pel-mel against our enemies. We have it in our 
power to descend upon them with the culpritsof our 
flock, a>d not the firstling as is according to the 
present organization of our military. An,d if any 
had scruples of conscience about this military estab- 
lishment, no one is bound to lift his handfor or against, 



21 

He considers it better to heave in his proportion in* 
to the treasury to hire these out-of-business men f 
than to undergo their ravages, and so gives his trib* 
ute peaceably to hire these men, and give them wa* 
ges, who otherwise would forfeit their own liberty, 
ty< and a great many their lives upon the public gal* 
lies. 

Next inquiry is men possessing good understand- 
ing going to be so mocked, and good sense and reas* 
on baffled and turned quite out of the question, as to 
suppose laws that shall bind men to do military 
drudgery <o that degree that he shall equip himself 
with the implements of warfare, and the {science of 
warfare, to appear respectably in the field as a sol* 
dier, or be held in jeopardy for each delinquency 
according to the nature of each oflence, who has not 
ten shillings of taxable property that either the 
sword, pestilence, or famine could take away, ac- 
cording to the nature of the declaration between us 
and other nations as a contending issue. Therefore 
the remedy is worse than the disease to thousands 
and tens of thousands of this the United States; for 
if they have not ten shillings of taxable property to 
defend, I am quite sure it will cost each and every 
recruit at least thirty -five dollars to so equip himself 
with the implements of warfare, and a good deal of 
attention to learn the science of warfare, while hit 
attention should be engaged in business of higher 
importance. I think all such as are thus diverted 
from justice are prepared with Benjamin Franklin to 
say they buy the whistle too dear. 

I will only give my thoughts on the subject, and 
ask a candid public if it is not so. While thousands 
ol the propertied men only look on with this excla- 
mation, what a good military, — a good government 
And at the polls it is 5 how do you do sir ?— -and hotf 



22 

do you do sir ? — and one day after election and will 
not know you. Who be you ? where do you live ? 
who one day before was very glad to see,— and it 
was all good fellow well met. And shall I here ask 
you if this how do you do sir, is not all they get for 
being holden to do all this unlawful military drudge- 
ry; for does not three or four men rule the town, 
and three or four the state, and three or four the un- 
ion ? Is there not the big bugs in every circle that all 
the rest of the community are tributary to ; as tribu- 
tary as children are to a parent ? And for this name 
to be heard, and how do you do sir,— one day in a 
yearyou are holden to all this drudgery before men- 
tioned. I must acknowledge I am in an attitude of 
inquiry how long this judgment is a going to last? 
And by what means it will be removed from us as a 
nation ? And that this hypocrisy of how do you do 
sir, might cease, is the wish of one who loves the doc- 
trine of equal things, and from such equally in good 
faith, solicit one general compound as a united bo- 
dy. Methinks any one pleads a compound on any 
other ground than is here laid down, must have a dis- 
honest heart, not after equal things, but is intent on 
prostituting all his rational faculties to an eagle-eyed 
set, who have made their nest on high, and only 
come down one a year. And how do you do sir, 
and by thisfalse hearted and might say rotten-heart- 
ed stuff, make a tool of you, oh man, to execute their 
designs in a most unequal manner, and thereby in- 
cur the just judgment of heaven upon them for such 
debauchery and prostitution ot their five operations 
or senses, which they are holden to use as not abu- 
sing them, and to return them to the God who gave 
them us, and that with usury. As it is here proved 
that one has not been the other's keeper, but one has 
been a murdererof another; and that love wherewith 



23 

we are commanded to love another has been self 
love, sensual and devilish. 

But does the enquiry end here ? What is the 
meaning of politics or policy ? What is the mean- 
ing of the word according to the lexicon ? It is 
craft. What is the meaning of craft? Deception 
dishonest, just in relation to the object matter of 
the deceiver, and one deceived. Then says the in- 
quirer if this is all the definition that can be given 
of policy, why has all nations embraced it as one 
of the necessaries of existence? as a free and inde- 
pendent government ? The reasons are plain and 
obvious, and I will only recite a few. First reas- 
on,— it is the engine of the military system. What S 
the military system consist of craft I Yes. What 
then the meaning of all this splendid military to 
preserve a harmony ? Between us and other na« 
tions, also this craft, requires secrecy and instanta- 
neous dispatch. But is this craft honest? Yes in 
a certain sense it is. If a man shall have five thous- 
and invincible troops, it is necessary for him to 
know ways and means, whys and wherefores ; that 
it will be proper to contend with another man hav- 
ing ten thousand ; and if not contend, enquire for 
conditions of peace. Otherways he might sacrifice 
them all to the overheated vengeance of an ungrate- 
ful enemy. In this s*°nse craft is not altogether 
law in whole, but law in part : or in other words 
lawful because the obedience of the troops are due 
to the leader ; and leader holden for their deliver- 
ence. No, says my opponent, only for a discreet di- 
rection I shall contend for the former expression. 
Complete deliverance for you would not get one of 
these troops into field, were they not fired up with 
a zeal in the good cause in which they were engaged 



24 

by their commander, they would not engage in the 
referred to enterprise, was it not ior the certainty of 
succeeding, and the novel way the leader has sought 
out,they are fired on to the consequences. But was 
the least idea to be advanced of this craft failing, and 
the enterprise being lost just in a certain ratio, they 
all become disheartened & begin to murmur. Then 
yon say it is the strength of this craft, the prime 
cogitations of this leader presses on his force, and 
each laughing, ha, ha, ha, when he thinks of the 
subtlety which premises success to the enterprise, 
and that he shall be a ^haft in the quiver to perform 
the wonderful work, and have it so laughable all 
the way to victory ? So says the inquirer. I think 
I see the object of this shrine, adjective figure,hiero- 
glyphical communication, as dedicated to the god- 
dess Diana,or standing in a subordinate sense to the 
law as deduced from legal proportion ; and that 
novelty is good news to any minority, either grand 
or petty, if that novelty only proved successful, 
being founded in sufficient subtlety, not to finally 
explode until the hour of victory ; and also all mi- 
norities, either grand or petty, will at all times have 
recourse to stratagem, founded in subtlety, in order 
to obtain their freedom ; which freedom or bon- 
dage is only to be liquidated from the nature of the 
issue, either grand or petty, and that it is as I have 
said before lawful, but it is not law. It is in a sub- 
ordinate sense right that the her in theissue, or mi- 
nority, while legally conquer-bound, to do the 
lawful drudgery of the compact, while this long eve 
or night shall last, have an entertainment peculiar 
to its case, whether this issue be grand or petty. 
Then what greater news or entertainment can be 
afforded than a view of a stratagem that promises 



25 

victory, and complete conquest over their enemies, 
The principles of it are pleasing, and like wine stimu- 
lating, and strengthens them in the performance of 
their duty, while this night, whether longer or shorten 
may endure. I would, says the inquirer, that you 
leave the theme of your (Nights) entertainment, and 
take up the subject anew. You acknowledge poli- 
cy is good in a certain sense, and that it is the en* 
gine of the minority to obtain deliverance, and that 
the minority are those which compose the military 
in general ; therefore the engine of the milita- 
ry system, and as the minority are holden to do 
this before mentioned drudgery, under good milita- 
ry officers, which military officers consider them- 
selves responsible to judicial authority at each of 
there enlistments, but by and by, by and by they 
discover in a certain given time, means to fire there 
troops with victory over these mere task-masters, 
for ye do not believe in their form, and therefore 
they, these task-masters, require this labour at thy 
hands. Now, says the General Plenipo, follow me 
and I will deliver you and set you free, and you shall 
go out free ; ha, ha, ha, is soon discovered penetrat« 
ing the ranks, and each one with mouth, ears, and 
eyes open to know the plan of operation, founded in 
sufficient strategem, in the bosom of subtlety, that 
promises success to so great an enterprise. Thou dost 
make out policy the silver cup of the minority, and 
also, endeavouring at the same time, show analogy 
between the law of Moses, and the laws of our land ; 
and also analogy between policy of a regular military 
encampment, and the Gospel of Jesus ; and also, that 
there is analogy as to the objects of each, for both 
are stimulating and stand not in actual knowledge,but 
an honest zeal. Please, says the enquirer, come a 




26 

little nearer that I may speak with thee my brother 
Amasa — that I may kiss thee and hold sweet converse 
and communion with thee. Then to the enquiry you 
seem to lay some stress on the government of the 
United States, as being an object of thy derision, 
where you seem to enquire how do you do sir, and 
how do you do sir, &c, as tho' you would heap some 
epithet on our most excellent form of free and inde- 
pendent government. I would like an explanation of 
thy meaning,and w 7 ill not at this time be over heated, 
seeing it is written we should be slow to w 7 rath, love 
mercy, and walk humbly with thy God. 

Then to the law and to the testimony. If the en- 
quirer look at my advertisment at the commence- 
ment of my work, as containing certain declara- 
tions, and claiming at the same time certain li- 
cense in order to prove them ; and if you deny me 
this license, I am not holden to prove my declara- 
tion; which declaration w r as unity of two, and to 
liquidate how much better two are than one, as hav- 
ing a good reward of their labour and license, was 
that I should ask no leave of absence in departing 
from terms and stile of my predecessors, how 7 ever 
far they might differ from me in opinion, then as my 
first claim on license is to differ from my pre- 
decessors, is to plead for two in room of one. 
And in order to make out two, it is necessa- 
ry to prove two lines, or the office work of two, and 
show the nature of the office work of the two, in or- 
der to show a contrast. Endeavoring topointoutone 
of these lines as the immutable law of God, handed 
us by Moses as the first covenant ; which covenant 
was broken, which was typified by the braking 
the two tables of stone, and also, w r hen the old one 
is taken out of the way leaves room for a new cove- 



27 

nant, which is a covenant not of law, for law refers 
right back to the four heads, or four mechanical 
powers, or proportion called in the original four 
heads, or rivers, and if preportionable then a system 
of work or works. But this new covenant does not 
stand in works, but of him that calleth, called the 
law of the spirit of life, not law of works but the 
law of the spirit of life hath made me free from the 
law of sin and death ; for the law of works , tend to 
death rather than life, and in the sequel prove the 
great theatre, male and female, flux and reflux, in 
all its motions either grand or petty. And that the 
law founded in geometry under four cardinal points, 
called the four rivers or mechanical powers, which 
all center in geometry, as suited to the declention 
of this great theatre, until the time of an incarna- 
tion of an undivided one is necessary ; which law 
of works is done away, and the proffers of resur- 
rection brought to view by such incarnation, and 
the necessity of a policy peculiar to this issue re- 
ferred to, until the new covenant becomes finally 
established by the members of this body becoming 
full, and be brought forth as the key stone of the 
grand arch with shoutings, grace, grace unto it. And 
this policy must be in relation to the issue refered 
to, in order for its defence, that swine shall not tram- 
ple upon it. And this must be a holy and righteous 
policy, and you have once said craft, deception says 
my opponent. Dare you say it now ? Oh yes, di- 
rectly. Let me hear you brother. Then to proceed I 
will address you sir thus. Was there ever a faithful 
believer in the undivided one of this issue, seeing 
from this wise cometh victory. I say, were he to see 
the deep laid plan of this minor, or heifer bringing 
forth, and through it the certainty of victory. Did not 



28 

his soul utter expressions of laughter, not as the world 
laugh, laugh they, but a holy desire for the fulfilment 
of the prophecy. Look at it Mr. Enquirer, what does 
all his secret laughter and holy zeal centre in ? Does 
it not centre in the craft or subtlety of the mighty 
plan of deliverence ? and there seems to be a secret 
in his own soul that he has no language to express. 
Therefore it holds him in this relation with an in- 
viting voice ; come unto me and I will tell you what 
God has done for my soul. 

Now, says the enquirer, I have a different view of 
the subject. Thou seemest to set fourth four heads, 
signifying two are broken as typefied by the two ta- 
bles, and that there are two that yet stand, which 
thou sets fourth under a broken law and false policy^ 
which will, or has already perished together as two 
of the four heads, and that two other heads are 
brought to view under another covenant, or lineage^ 
by setting forth the commencement of a holy law 
and policy, as being peculiar to a male and female 
relation. For a little farther definition of policy or of 
thy view of it, thou hast said, craft, deception, dis- 
honest ; ah but hark, is it not said in a subjunctive 
sense like this, just in relation to the object matter 
of the deceiver, and the effect such policy had on de- 
ceived. Now if a set of men in our day make use 
of this rotten hearted policy, the daughter subtlety, 
and by it get the judicial authority into their hands- 
and the great populace shaven and shorn like a Samp* 
son of old by his own wife, and this at the request 
of those of uncircumcised lips who stand rather in 
zeal than in knowledge, then will the people mourn 
in relation to the direful bearing of said subtlety or 
policy, or as my subject at the commencement sup- 
poses policy, or in other words good and bad 



29 

policy. As thou hast treated long on the nature 
of policy, and have said something of bad poli- 
cy, abstract within itself; therefore would say some- 
thing of good policy within itself, without doubt. 
Abraham when he offered up his son, his only son, 
upon the altar by the express command of Almighty 
God, he felt all the bitter pangs of parental affection 
that would centre in an only son ; and that even of 
his old age that it is possible for tongue to express* 
But hark, what is the result; stay, stay thy hand ; 
and behold, he obeyed the Lord in this also, and in 
the nature of the event received his son as one from 
the dead. But I would inform the reader this sort 
of plagueing is not as other men are plagued ; or, in 
other words, this policy, or subtlety in the divine 
plan, is not like the former policy or subtlety; there- 
fore the effect varies in like proportion. Although 
Abraham was actually deceived, but in the event, to 
the joy of his soul ; and when we trace it along a lit- 
tle farther, this same son Isaac, when blessing his 
son, and honestly endeavouring to bless his first 
born, was also deceived and blessed his second. 
Now this was the wisdom of God or plan of heaven. 
He was not plagued as other men. Thirdly, this 
same son Jacob by name, had twelve sons, from 
which sprang the twelve tribes of Israel ; this Jacob 
who afterwards was called Israel, had a son whom 
he called Joseph, and he seemed to set his affection 
on Joseph, but behold Joseph w r as taken from his 
embrace and supposed to be dead, under quite suf- 
ficient proof. His clothes besmeared in blood, so 
when he received his son he also received him as 
one from the dead. So his plague is not as other 
men. Fourthly, circumstances of Joseph's brethren 
seeking corn, behold they buy and they return with 

the money in their sacks mouth, so they are not 

# 3 



30 

pdagued as some heretofore. Fifthly, seeking more 
com, buy of Joseph, governor of all Egypt, silver cup 
deposited in their sack ; they sent for as a set of 
thieves; brought back as such ; cup found in Ben- 
jamin's sack ; and they under expectation of a se- 
vere punishment. But the merciful governor could 
not reirain from tears, and at the same time knew 
his own relation to them ; but the self-condemned 
brethren did not know their relation to Joseph: but 
when this governor sent all out from his presence,, 
that he might be alone, when he should make him- 
self known to his brethren, here must have been a 
very great change in these self condemned brethren, 
or visitors, seeing the governor of all Egypt in their 
presence. Ah how were they deceived, what a 
deep laid stratagem to bring about there penitence. 
But behold we see there plagueing was not as oth« 
er men are plagued. What is the result, wh a the 
contrast ? A little befoi e expecting the full ven~ 
gence of the laws of the land of Egypt, but the event 
is, I am Joseph thy brother ; and so he comforted 
them, and the heardest accusation that we here 
from Joseph is, ye meant it for evil but God meant it 
for good. What then ; and Joseph said unto them, 
fear not for I am in the place of God. Oh, what dis- 
appointment ! And was I to trace the dealings of 
God with the sons of men, whose ways is not as our 
ways, and thoughts as our thoughts, therefore always 
falls short of the divine plan. And here we 
will endeavour to end the enquiry concerning 
this policy. What son or daughter of Zion will not 
say they were most wonderfully deceived when they 
call to mind the dealings of God with their souls ; for 
says one, when under conviction I must sink to the 
lowermost perdition ? and there forever to remain? 



31 

without a gleam of hope that there is any redemp 
tion for so great a sinner. But oh Lord, when re- 
demption comes no tongue can express the awful 
contrast. The mistake of this soul when the bro- 
ken heart is bound up, and the oil of gladness pour- 
ed in, and new song in their mouths, even praise un- 
to the most high ; and shall I not say unto thee, oh 
sons and daughters of Israel have ye not all been 
disappointed in this way to the joy of thy souls. 

JOSEPH CHADDOCK 



THE ENB OF PART FIRST, 



PART SECOND. 

If God created all things biped of two ; two pm 
toned; two poled; two sex; male and female, and pro- 
nounced that relation good, or very good. Solomon 
hath said two are better than one, because they have 
a good reward of their labor, and asks the ques- 
tion, how can one be warm alone ? Paul declares 
the invisible things of him from the creation of the 
world are clearly seen; being understood by the 
things that are made, even his eternal power and 
God-head, so that they are without exercise. Now 
the sum of the declaration of two former texts de- 
clares the attitude biped ; the latter that we may 
behold them in the glass of nature, and if we do not, 
are without excuse. Another text : study to show 
thyself approved unto God. A workman that need- 
eth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word oi 
truth. And shall we not enfor.ce the exhortation ? 
study to show thyself approved unto God. When 
we look around on the world of mankind and behold 
the stupidity ; that a cloud of thick darkness hath 
hovered around like a hood ; moral darkness like 
that which appeared to the ancient antedilvuians ; 
the eyes of their understanding were darkened; 
therefore they believed not until the flood came and 
swept them away ; believed not God by his servant 
Noah. Darkness like that which appeared unto 
Egypt : w r ho oppressed Israel ; made them bondmen 
and bondwomen, believed not God by his servant 
Moses. And like the darkness that happened unto 
the Jews at Jerusalem, who would not be reproved 
by Jesus Christ, And as the vast creation has been 
-hook to its centre three times,- whether men will be 



34 

reproved or not; now may we be enabled to dis 
cern the signs of the times, and see if we are not al 
most ready to receive the fourth general reproot 
whether we will or no. Was men ever more wick- 
ed than at the present day? I think I hear a voice 
say no, not at any time previous. And perhaps this 
answer comes without any kind of knowledge of 
what this weakness consists in. They answer, be- 
cause it is a popular cry we have all gone astray 
like sheep, &c. But I for one see the necessity oi 
heaving away popular cry, and mummed stories of 
ancient extraction, and take up the subject anew. 

First inquiry ; what is sin ? The violation of any 
law we have given our ascent to keep,as belonging to 
a compact. As the compact of the United States, 
we are holden te keep all the laws of the United 
States. From the nature of the issue of the United 
States, when we raised our chief head to administer 
justice to us ; and as we run in the election, one puts 
down as great a sacrifice as the other. And in the 
event of this race one is holden to do the lawful drudg- 
ery of the other, thus far but no farther. The sum 
of it all is the prevailing sex has lawfully gained this 
halloo unto all the prevailed over. Hear ye, hear 
ye, &c. What shall I hear? says the enquired of 
The story of submission and humiliation to all the 
wise laws that we the majority may devise or think 
proper; and from the virtue of this race, or trial 5 
w r e have obtained our freedom, while we are con* 
kerbound to do the lawful drudgery of the nation. 
And as we have obtained our freedom, and ye are 
concubines; therefore we will send out our Gospel 
herald of peace that is peculiar to the issue joined 
at the election ; and ye must assent to all the consti* 
tution of this compact, and obey them; and by 
so doing ye can receive a salvation peculiar to this 



3j 

issue. Ye have proved yourselves to be our ser- 
vants ; and now obey this man who ye say ye would 
not have to rule over you. Oh, oh, says the concu- 
bine, I begin to see my true condition as it is. I be- 
hold myself bartered away, you free. I behold the 
kingdom yours. I behold myself legally sold under 
bondage, and holden to dothe lawful drudgery of the 
compact, and cannot come into the immediate pres- 
ence of the king, governor, or president, without your 
consent ; because I said in the nature of this race, 
run, or issue, I would not have this man, king, govern- 
or, or president to rule over me. It is to be hoped that 
the neutral reader will see my object in this figura- 
tive communication, fori can be understood by none 
else. Which is to see the legal pow r er one of these 
sexes has over the other; and the nature of bondage; 
the probability of desiring freedom from that bond- 
age; and to liquidate the extent of that bondage, 
and the nature of gospel grace, or gospel favour, 
which is only to be liquidated from nature of the is- 
sue, or parentage either grand or petty. As all things 
animate or inanimate, are biped, either grand or pet- 
ty. The stewards of the ministry are commanded to 
be wise stewards. What ! has the stewards of Jesus 
Christ administered to the world the doctrine of hu- 
miliation and submission? These are (he terms of 
reconciliation to truth, and none else. God is truth ; 
therefore they the heralds say to God it requires a ve- 
ry honest man to preach this gospel redemption, if 
he preaches it not agreeing with the issue, or cross 
declaration supposed in the issue. And they preach 
this doctrine of the issue, or cross, in a blind sense ; 
and go on to preach the doctrine of humility and sub- 
mission to an unlegal degree. The people believe 
it; begin to tell about a wooden cross that Jesus suf- 
fered and died on, in room of showing his sexual pa- 



36 

rentage. I say coming with the Roman indictkm 
or indication of a cross, in room of the substantive 
issue, or biped lineage. I say who would not think 
the Roman governor had given out word that all 
should be taxed. And if it is at the present day that 
nineteen twentieths are made tributary to the other 
twentieth, through handling the word ot God deceit 
fully, thousands and tens of thousands are made en- 
thusiasts for the want of the knowledge of this divi- 
sion in nature, as referred to by all nature ; as the in- 
visible things of creation are clearly seen in the 
things that are made. Those things which do not so 
immediately salute our senses, are clearly seen if 
.we search nature for it. So in the great day of ac- 
count we shall be without excuse. This issue must 
be referred to in order to preach the gospel of a 
cross; and if it a wooden cross ye have preached? 
and kept sexative proportion from the world, under 
a sublime secret, and a few have deemed it their 
prerogative to hold it a secret and gain the tribute 
of the people for the knowledge of a wooden cross 
sacrifice, which they say the atonement of mankind 
was purchased on, their declarations, in all their 
prints, are my witnesses to these things, and merely 
to rise up with their voices and say it is not so, would 
be vain and useless, seeing it is legible on all our 
prints in thousand different forms. Further, that 
this figurative mode of expression is to show to an 
enlightened public the legal administrator of these 
parties, or this issue : and who are administered to 
and deceived : and that all nature supposes a line- 
age : and that this lineage has been kept and must 
be kept by wise stewards of the ministry, and give 
it to the public as a proposed question : who has 
the secret of the riddle of nalure ? the world ©r not, 
and whether this proportion is not as ancient as 



37 

eternity ? And behold God, glorious sovereign has 
weighed all things in the scales, or in the sexative bal- 
lance, and see if God's ways is not equal, and our 
ways unequal; and whether mankind can be made 
responsible to obey a king, or president, if they do 
not know the issue of the sexative relation of the pa- 
rentage of his existence ; or ever see their responsi 
bility to such a government. They may be made 
responsible by the lash of the whip, or through fear, 
and through the entreaties of tradition, or repetition, 
or stories of mummies, either ancient or modern*, 
who have digested the substance they feed to others 
a thousand times, and becomes good for nothing but 
to be cast off with the drought. 

The question is whether a man can feel his res- 
ponsibility, when he has not the root and ground work 
of this knowledge in himself? And whether if then 
he will not always feel his responsibility in his own 
soul ? And the knowledge of this issue can only 
make any rational soul, in any government, holden 
to fulfil its requirements, whether it alludes to this 
world or that which is to come. The extent of the 
government is only to be learnt from the issue, and 
from its parentage. It is easy to liquidate its nature 
and extent. Without any doubt Enoch was the first 
translated from darkness to light. Yet the traces of 
proportion or architecture are as ancient as exis- 
tence ; yet Enoch was the first one made acquainted 
with it. And after this mankind had a sure evidence 
of eternal duration of things ; and of a day of rest^ 
or jubilee, to this issue. And after this was impro- 
ved, for the benefit of the faithful and worthy by all 
the Jews, and they in it as the glass beheld a Shilaw 
to come and restore all things, or make even all 
things. 

After the administration comes unto a people*

known by the name ot free-mason, they wear the 
high priest's robe, and go into the holiest of holies, 
having on the robe in imitatation of Aaron the Jew- 
ish high priest, and have had the knowledge of this 
legal covenant or issue, until the present time, which 
covenant must be kept until the end or termination 
of all things. Another invisable thing is exhibited 
in this view of the subject; that all nature is in an 
attitude to bring forth, to replenish or make herseli 
good in perpetuate order, by bringing forth a medi- 
ator peculiar to its parentage ; and this to a divine 
matrimonial covenant relation. And in the end the 
her in the issue is given to him for him. The posi- 
tive or majority to rule over the minority, or less po- 
sitive sex; and she under as wise laws as heaven can 
devise. And this mediator, the God of the marriage 
or unity, thus to be enjoyed of whom can be said has 
kept the good wine until now. And believe Isaiah 
when he says, unto us a child is born, unto us a son 
is given, and the government shall be upon his 
shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, 
Counsellor, The Mijrhty God, The Everlasting Fa- 
ther, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of bis 
government and peace there shall be no end, upon 
the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to or- 
der it, and to establish it with judgment and with 
justice, from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of 
the Lord of hosts will perform this. And behold 
the prophetic speeches of the wise men in the apoc- 
raphy, especially Zerobabel, who spoke of the 
strength of a woman, and the truth, and bless the 
God of truth, and Sampson standing between the 
two principal pillars of the Philistian temple, when 
he tore it down, to be revenged once more on ac- 
count of his two eyes, and Sampson to exclaim had 
ye not plowed with my heifer ye would not have 



39 

found out my riddle ; and all the important sense 
of the Old and New Testament explained on the 
plan of the Unitarian issue, or biped attitude of ex- 
istence, and the great theatre of creation look 
glorious and Godlike, and perpetuation through 
these great grand revolutions, or jubileeums, cer- 
tain. Why hast thou smitten me these three times* 
or what have I done unto thee that thou hast smit- 
ten me these three times ? And Balaam said unto the 
ass because thou hast mocked me ; I would there 
were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill thee. 
And the ass said unto Balaam am not I thine ass. 
upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine : 
unto this day was I ever wont to do so unto thee ? 
And he said nay. And the Lord opened the eyes of 
Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing 
in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand. And 
tie bowed down his head and fell flat on his face. 
And the angel of the Lord said unto him wherefore 
hast thou smitten thine ass these three times ? be- 
hold I went out to withstand thee, because thy way 
is preverse before me. And the ass saw me and 
turned from me these three times ; unless she had 
turned from me, surely I had slain thee, and saved 
her alive. And Balaam said unto the angel of the 
Lord, I have sinned ; for I knew not that thou stood- 
est in the way against me. Now therefore, if it dis- 
please thee, I will get me back again. And the 
angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, go with the 
men but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, 
that thou shall speak. 

There appears to have been three general repri- 
mands since time began under the present covenantor 
lineage, and this confession has been extorted from 
the ruling sex or stewards, as is contained in this 
conference; as above cited. I have sinned^ for I 



40 

knew not that thou stoodestin the way against me •' 
Now therefore if it displease thee I will get me 
back again, and after being sufficiently punished for 
their transgressions against the minority, by the in- 
terposition of God's providence, the pure word of 
testimony has been put into their mouths to admin- 
ister the same to their heritage, which God gave un- 
to them from the beginning. As it is said and he 
shall rule over thee. 

If the fourth general reprimand is at hand, and the 
awkward stiff-necked beast begin to the unrighteous 
steward, or high preast, and say as did Daniel of old, 
Bell is no God, and that he neither eateth nor drink- 
eth, but ye, your wives, and children, do eat and 
drink up all, and the dragon on the other hand, she 
can destroy without sword or staff which has been 
raised up to keep her in awe, which has been raised 
up through lust after gain, to make her more ready 
to confess I am thine ass; which doctrine has tended 
to ignorance until now, but as the pure word of testi- 
mony, or ashes of the gospel is sprinkled around out 
hearts, the footsteps of men, women, and children, 
may be seen ; their wicked purpose betrayed ; and 
they brought to condign punishment. Or, in the 
sense of the parable, I will, if it displease thee, get 
me back again. 

Other proof of bipidity — -Music and Language are 
biped. Music is a relative of organic or instrumen- 
tal sounds. Language is a relation of organic sounds. 
Which Music and Language wholly depend on rela- 
tion ; and relation on government ; government on 
agreement of certain lines to produce a variety, or 
contrast; a variety to produce a choice from which 
a harmony is brought about that supposes intelli- 
gence ; intelligence the powers of communication, 
by which all our business is done of every name or 



41 

are. Hence we will say of a drum. Inquiry ; 
How is a tune beat on that drum by beating in one 
relation, or attitude ? No. Tben is the tune beat on 
that drum at all ? No. Where then ? In the air strik 
ing the drum at certain angles, not in one uniform 
right line, brings about a vibration and re-vibration, 
in or on the air, and the sound is communicated to 
the drum of the ear, that is made in the air by the 
force of the vibration, which vibration is brought 
about by beating on the drum ; the drum only serves 
to reflect or communicate the sound to the ear Now 
this force is so ingenously palmed upon the air by 
beating the drum so as to have this force strike each 
other at certain angles, from two general lines in 
music, as to suppose an harmony. The variety is 
only made up from the trinal action of these sounds 
striking each other at legal angles, which variety 
supposes a tune How many tunes can there be 
played on an instrument of music ? As many times 
as you can vary the relation of these sounds, so many 
tunes can be formed. This relation is varied by 
changing the position of the tw r o grand lines in the 
music of which we are playing. Language is a re- 
lation of organic sounds, which supposes variety, 
governments, and agreement, or harmony, not spo- 
ken in the head as I have been laboring to show of 
the tune as not being played on the instrument, but 
on the air. The vibration or force is of the air, by 
help of the instrument. So by the help of the instru- 
ment the organs of speech communicates force on the 
air ; not a uniform force, but varied ; adhering to 
two general lines, called genders, or actors, from 
which a variety is made up that supposes language; 
and the force striking each other at certain angles 
creates sound ; the variation of these angles variety, 
•">m which an agreement or harmony is made up 

*4 



42 

How many spoken languages can there be ? Jusi 
as often as you can change the two general lines or 
genders in language, so many independent langua- 
ges there may be. There are many languages that 
are not independent, but made up of variety of oth- 
ers ; therefore being borrowed can be called noth- 
ing more than tongues. And as I have brought these 
two witnesses forth unto you to witness to that male 
and female relation in which God created all things, 
animate and inanimate under the whole heaven, bi- 
ped or trinatorial. Two numbers given to find a 
third, a third a fourth, there always being a hidden 
number, and the liquidated numbers stand in an 
elective position to find the unliquidated. But, says 
my opponent, I always thought the tune played on 
the instrument : but now I readily see my mistake ; 
and the tune is altogether shaped in the air ; and by 
help of the instrument the sound is communicated to 
the ear. Like unto the eye beholding an object at 
a given distance, it appears as though the eye might 
have went to the object, and if not so, the sight went 
there, and returned with the news at any rate. But, 
says my opponent, [ very readily see my mistake in 
this also; and altho' I have kept them in account on 
my daily journals, I heartily confess I will post them 
no further. Then how is it, says a fourth person, if 
the eye does not go to the object, nor the sight com- 
municated there, by which a survey of surrounding 
nature is brought home to your understanding — how 
is it, that my opponent does see his mistake ? I will 
let the public hear him in his own language, then 
judge for themselves. Then, says my opponent, the 
object is communicated to the eye in the room of the 
eye, or sight being communicated to it; the object 
is pictured in the eye, and the eye stands as a re- 
flector to communicate to the understanding; not 



43 

that the object is actually in the eye, any more than 
that the tune is in the instrument, by which the ac- 
tion is produced on the air, but the image of the ob- 
ject, whether men, beasts, or landscapes are pictur- 
ed in the eye, from which the communication is made 
to (he judgement, and an appeal also to the under- 
standing. It is quite easy to see how it is that men 
vary in judgement As to property it depends almost 
wholly on the eye of an independent man, whether 
his judgement be correct or not. It is very evident 
that our eyes are not alike, som^ being more con- 
cave than others, therefore increase or diminish the 
objects in like proportion. This is more clearly un- 
derstood by looking at distant objects ; which ob- 
jects does not come in question very often especial- 
ly in doing our ordinary business. Beholding the 
sun and moon, some particular stars. Were you to 
assemble an hundred persons of good understanding, 
the question should be, how big is the sun, moon, or 
particular stars alluded to? each one should mark 
for it, and there would be as many judgements as 
there were persons, and each one varying as to size, 
Then you may say how is it that men so precisely 
agree as to the worth of property ; this is catched 
from tradition, a thing becoming popular to be worth 
so much ; and so much therefore our judgement is 
founded on others. But had we never heard of the 
valuation of the property alluded to — were we cal~ 
led on to make up our judgment, it would be as va- 
ried as when judging of the size of the sun, and 
moon, or particular stars. But as popularity has 
been the great juggernaut that has travelled with 
power, and made very rapid strides upon the human 
family, needs no argument in proof of it. And that 
the eyes as our understanding are allured away -to 
serve the avarice and luxury of a few is quite cer- 



44 

tain. And had we a general understanding of the 
great biped lineage, it would not be so ; but a gen- 
al diffusion of general knowledge be conveyed there- 
on. 

Nature hath uttered her voice and declared all 
things sexual or biped. God hath created man up- 
right in the beginning, and man hath sought out ma- 
ny inventions and in as much as nature spoke she 
spoke unto all, but a few it appears have treasured 
up some of her most choicest language or jewels and 
have betook themselves to their secret places, and 
like Adam have thought to hide themselves with fig 
leaves, together with their jewels, saying in them- 
selves,the world can ne'er divine,but when the Lord 
called unto Adam, where art thou ? what is his an- 
swer : here am I : agreeing with the parable of Ba- 
laam, if it displease thee, I will get myself back 
again. And as I behold the great creation or thea- 
tre biped, and weighed in the great sexative balance, 
and that God's way has been equal, but man's way 
unequal. I know not how to utter my voice so as to 
be understood concerning this matter. I do-not find 
fault with this position of creation, or preservation; 
for all things alluding to this bipedity is proportiona- 
bly and gloriously created, and reflects great honor 
on the builder, but the fault is in the administration, 
(and he sjiail rule over thee") as the her was given 
to him in the beginning : the him has exacted too 
much, which only relates to the administration, and 
the him has been called to in the cool of the day, 
which has happened sundry times. He, Adam, (or 
red earth,) has deigned to hide himself,but God made 
the covenant naked before the face of all flesh, and 
established it in righteousness, but man has strove 
to conceal and come under an obligation never to 
reveal. So, like Bell's priests, in a given time do 



45 

eat and drink up all, teaching on the one hand, Bel? 
is a God, and holding up the Dragon on the other, 
as something very terrible. 

And as it is very certain that an harmony, or di- 
vine matrimonial covenant, will be pronounced be 
fore the face of all flesh is quite certain : which mat- 
rimonial covenant will be brought about by the birth 
of a mediatorial heir, peculiar to the issue alluded 
to in this sequel, needs no comment. 

These sexes alluded to are running this grand race, 
on which every thing valuable depends, either in 
time or eternity. And while 1 behold such a vast 
difference one of these sexes has over the other, ac- 
cording to the present administration, I am constrain- 
ed to shew it unto the world for a particular investi- 
gation, seeing it hashung heavy on my mind for more 
than nine years. And how to speak as I ought I 
know not ; but the Lord can open my mouth in wis- 
dom, then can I speak, and my words will be fitly 
spoken. If the body of people called Masons have 
had the knowledge of this covenant, of which they 
have essayed to bear the ark containing such cove- 
nant. And the words covenant and lineage are sy~ 
nonomous terms, their meaning equal, but not so un- 
derstood. And also much labour spent in oiderthai 
it shall not be comprehended by the common pec 
pie labouring to conceal and never to reveal, &e* 
the principles of this bipidity. It is a decided dif- 
ference^ contrast that the imagination,at one glance, 
is unable to survey, and leaves the w r orld in a given 
time in gross ignorance, dupes and slaves to an ea 
gle-eyed set, who lord over God's heritage, until 
their error is met, until the interposition of God's 
providence calls unto the unfaithful stewards, where 
art thou ? Art thou in thy place ruling in right 
eousness at the head of my people, if not let the peo- 



46 

\Ae go, and sacrifice in the wilderness unto me. And 
when they who dote themselves in the knowledge of 
this lineage, or legal covenant, or in a word dote 
themselves in the law, and like proud Pharaoh, will 
not let the people go. God will send a prophet 
like unto Moses, and unto him shall the people 
hearken ; and whosoever will not hearken the Lord 
will require it of him. Perhaps my opponent will 
here enquire, as the sequel seems to lay great stress 
on the words three times why hast thou beaten me. 
then three times, &c. referring to three general rep- 
rimands. Once at the flood ; once at Egypt ; and 
once at Jerusalem. And also who did hearken to 
Noah ? Who did hearken to Moses ? And also to 
Jesus at Jerusalem ? 

1st. It is left on record that their wickedness was 
great on the earth. They committed all manner oi 
wickedness with greediness ; and when Noah came 
to reprove them, there did not many hearken, but 
God required it of them by destroying them off the 
face of the whole earth. They were deluged in 
water. We do not read of Noah's performing any 
miracles in proof of his mission. We read of him 
as a preacher of righteousness. And Moses when 
he came performed many miracles, but was soon < >p- 
posed by the wise men of Egypt. And when he, Mo- 
ses, performed his miracles, they, the wise men of 
Egypt, put their heads together as though they would 
outvie the Almighty ; but we see them fail, and at 
last deluged in the Red Sea. If they, the Egyptians, 
could have out-stretched Moses in his miracles, they 
would have convinced the people these were all nat- 
ural productions; and they, the Egyptians, did not 
pretend to have any divine mission, nor did they be- 
lieve Moses had, but he wanted to turn the world 
opside down in order to aggrandize himself Tho^ 



47 

takest too much upon thyself, &c. At Jerusalem we 
hear Jesus disputing with the learned doctors and 
lawyers; they asking him questions until they durst 
ask him no more. Why ? Because the ears of an 
injured populace w r ere open to the grand inquiry ; 
and when Jesu9 gave them an answer it served to un- 
cover their nakedness, and exhibit their debauche- 
ry. And there cry is if we let this man alone all 
men will believe on him. Therefore the Romans 
will take away our city and nation. Crucify him. 
Crucify him, &c. The leading principles of Jesus* 
doctrine were these, especially that which displeased 
these learned Rabbies. They bind heavy burdens 
upon you too grievous to be borne, and do not touch 
them with their finger. Come unto me and I will 
give you rest from this bondage. But this lower 
cla&s had become like the dupes and slaves of Egypt,, 
who, when they had no straw, must glean up stubble, 
so at any rate as to bring in the tale of bricks. I 
only make these remarks to show the generalapos- 
tacy from God. And in the end the certainty ot 
these stewards being accounted with, and turned out 
of their stewardship. And when the great glass of 
nature is turned, this great biped issue interchanged, 
the elder serving the younger, then the word of in- 
spiration seems to be verified. As they the ruling 
majority have done unto others, it will be done unto 
them, until all the sands of nature run through again, 
And that all nature has existed from time immemo- 
rial, through these grand revolutions, or jubilees, no 
man of common sense can deny. A man who has 
not been bound down as a slave to a set of mum- 
mies, of ancient or modern extraction; a man who is 
left to think and speak for himself in the fear of an 
heart-searching God. and as one who expects to give 
an account for his conduct in the final retribution of 



48 

all things, when we with Moses, and the Lamb, and 
all the redeemed from this bondage alluded to, in 
the issue shall sing the song of the grand jubilee for- 
ever. I do not appeal to these solemnities in a tri- 
fling manner, but with a sincere desire for the good 
of mankind. For he that is wise is wise for himself 
and he that scorns he alone must bear it. 

If the reader should be enabled to see the declara 
lion contained in the text proved, or otherways con- 
tained in the several texts that seem to savour the 
same thing, that is, the invisible things of creation 
are clearly seen in the things that are made, &c— 
And if two lie together they have heat. And two 
are better than one. Why, or for ? They have a good 
reward of their labour. And as they, my readers, 
see the proof of the subject, also see the injunction 
put upon them. Study to show thyself approved un- 
to God a workman, &c. I say after summing up the 
proof contained in the evidences deduced from the 
volume of nature, as they present themselves in or- 
der to our understanding, or as she, nature, doth pre- 
sent them, not I ; for I consider myself a weak, falli- 
ble creature, and may have not arranged them in 
their orders ; but it sufficeth me if I can only pre- 
sent the enquiry in legible order, so as to be under- 
stood by the general mass of mankind, for which it 
will be readily perceived these lines were written; 
and also that the plan of illustration is not a new one, 
for which I plead a preference to all others ; and al- 
so plead particular honour to myself Although the 
inquirer should see the subject sufficiently proved 
before him, but contrary to such a thought that it is 
ancient as eternity, and it was the means by which 
an Enoch was translated from darkness to the light 
of a revealed law contained in the sexative position 
of nature, and all other men from that time to the 



49 

present, and I be enabled still to present myself your 
servant, for Jesus sake, who resisted such a contra- 
diction of sinners against himself. 

Once more to take a reconsideration of the sub« 
ject, as from nature deduced, or set forth by the wri- 
ter. First grand inquiry ; that the origin of man is 
biped or sexual. That he comes into the world in 
this position from the government of a generative is- 
sue ; as a mediator of a certain parentage ; trinatori- 
al as two numbers to find the third. Second inqui- 
ry ; that the pursuit of man, or ultimate end of man, 
is to gain and govern as a practical government, or 
national government, that the king, president, or 
governor, owes his existence to a practical majority, 
and practical minority, or practical parentage. And 
the third general and grand evidence deduced is that 
the earth is a globe of an eliptic form, divided by an 
equinoxial line, as one grand division ; and that the 
astronomical motion of the two material elements, 
earth and water, produce a sexual friction on each 
other, w r hich friction creates heat and light; and 
which motion heat and light, give life and humidity 
to the animal and vegetable creation, and the con- 
cord or agreement in nature is made up from the di- 
versified position or attitude. One specific part of 
nature stands into another, and it is the bearing of 
two sexual lines crossing each other at certain an- 
gles, adhering to a legal centre, supposes existence 
at all. And from the male and female position, ne- 
cessity of a lineage, or legal covenant, which neces- 
sity supposes action or motion, and from such inher- 
ent necessity in nature, the grand theatre did verge 
to life or astronomical action ; and did exist in be- 
ing the sun, moon, and all the subordinate lights in 
the canopy of heaven. And man, with all the subor- 
dinate race of animals on the earth, brought forth of 






50 

this bipidity in nature, through the cross as the two 
sexual lines, adhering to a legal centre, we find all 
nature balanced in existence. And as Solomon ap- 
proached the temple, he ascended the steps and 
went in between the two principle pillars adhering 
to an equilibrium, by which means his kingdom was 
always peaceable in his day,and by it perpetuated his 
memory throughout all generations as a wise and 
good man. It is very evident that the voice of nature 
is thus audable and powerful ; and there can be no 
mistake on the general illustration, although my op- 
ponent may feel himself somewhat disturbed, and 
begin to inquire how dare you cross the popular opin- 
ion? Do you not expect an infuriated multitude upon 
you for saying that Bell is no God on the one hand, 
and that the Draggon can be destroyed without sword 
or staff on the other ? And also wage the inquiry 
farther, who art thou, and who sent thee ? Where 
will be thy hiding place, or who can deliver you out 
of mine hand? I will only answer thus; if God be 
our friend, who can be our enemy ? The living God 
who dwells between the cherubim ? The fourth and 
fifth prool all audibility is biped, as it relates to music 
and language as has been heretofore illustrated. 
Now as I feel somewhat disposed to leave the sub- 
ject with a few more reflections 5 let us go to and 
build us a tower, whose top shall reach to heaven, 
as has been previously cited, as lo here, £tnd lo there. 
But the nature of build us a tower is contained in it, 
or the secret of nature stands as a riddle, and all 
men were endeavoring to guess it as in the tying of 
Samson's foxes. Alluding to the different denomina- 
tions, one coming after another, in the order of time, 
and did present his articles of belief, or guess to the 
world. A certain multitude followed him, and his 
numbers increasing until his bread, like certain an- 



51 

cieni spies of old, who went to spy out the land of 
Canaan, became dry and mouldy, and shoes became 
clouted on their feet. And I may here add, could 
hardly tell from whence they came, or whither they 
were going. Then God chose himself other servants 
and put his testimonies in their mouths until they be- 
came earthly,sensual,and devlish. Then others have 
been raised up, and so one after another until the pre- 
sent. All presenting each their articles of faith or 
guess. Men of Israel is it so, or not so ? And I only 
put this position before the public in no higher tone 
than the rest of those constituents, who have gone be* 
fore. I can only say, men of Israel is it so, or is it 
not so ? Although my opponent accuse me of being 
an egotist to the highest degree, but I will answer to 
this by saying that every lawyer pleading for his cli- 
ent, makes use of the personal pronoun I, when 
speaking for his client. I will prove you, I will satis- 
fy this court, &c. and I will only remind my oppo- 
nent that when I agreed to show mine opinion, &c, 
as is contained in my advertisment, that I should 
ask no leave of absence as to the method, or in other 
words, terms and style, &c. And a lawyer who 
pleads lor a client, on a case of slander, a client 
whose fame is wholly destroyed, together with his 
whole family; a man of merit, but by the fraud of 
some infamous villian has been wholly reduced to a 
level with himself; a client I say under such circum- 
stances, and a lawyer who has espoused his cause, 
and after being made acquainted with the evidences 
sufficient to his restoration, will he not exert himself 
to his utmost ? And when the case requires it, speak 
in the personal pronoun I, if by it he can wage the ar- 
gument with any greater force. So all I request is this 
licence ; and if admitted I pass to the next reflection 
which is to show in what relation 1 behold the grand 



52 

issue that, causes me to startle at the contrast, or dii 
ference, in the means in obtaining the ultimate end 
which inspires an animate creation to action. Not 
that there is avast difference in nature, but a legal 
sexual difference in the laws of proportion, but the 
vast difference is obtained through fraud, which is only 
chargabJe to the administration, and not to biped pro- 
portion of which God pronounced very good. There 
is an instinct inherent principle in man, that leads 
him to worship he knows not what ; but his mind is 
drawn upward and downward,-and there is a why that 
it is so, and I will give my reasons for it in a plain and 
definite manner as possible, that is, when the child is 
first begotten in the first foetus, his heart and brain are 
first formed and the principles of life are therein con- 
tained ; then an action takes place of the parts then 
begun, and all the rest of the component parts, such 
as lungs, and other contingencies, &c. But this be- 
ginning to be of heart and brain, as the principles of 
life takes place, on an elective issue, begotten of the 
one and conceived of the other, and nourished for a 
season and then brought forth into existence media- 
torial as two electors to the elected, or product 
Now this child is not of chance to be a male or fe- 
male ; there is no chance about it. It is a male and 
female election, and it wholly depends on the reia 
tion of nature at the coition, whether, we be male or 
female. As all nature being biped, acting from two 
general lines, in the same sense as described of lan- 
guage and music, sexual, therefore elective and one 
of the natures of this child must forgive the other, in 
order to have any motion or life ; and not as is very 
nopular saying, good and evil nature. This by no 
mea ns * s no * ^ e mean * n g of the inquiry, but male 
i Vgingle nature, as two distinct natures, one for- 
Uves th£ °^ er * n ^ e & rst /^'^ or beginning, to he 



53 

of the child,which creates a fluxing and refluxing mo 
tion of the blood in the veins, and this fluxing and 
refluxing motion is not equal, but stand in necessity 
of the air to equalize them by respiration. The mo- 
lion of a clock or watch is vibration or revibration* 
The motion of the watery element ebb and flow once 
in a given time ; and the ebbing and flowing of the 
tide has been a mistery to many ; they could not tell 
why it should be so, but it is an account of the bi- 
pidity of the grand theatre of existence. And it is a 
sort of respiration suited to the grand theatre, as the 
breath is to the animal body, and could not exist 
without it no more than the animal could be said to 
live without the breath. For when we see the breath 
leave the animal body we say the body is dead. So 
of the grand theatre. But the object of this inquiry 
Is to show the instinct principle in man to worship, 
he knows not what, which takes place on account of 
one of the principles of his nature foregoing the oth- 
er. His existence is suspended between the sexa- 
tive issue of existence, or the great theatre, just as J 
the earth is between the poles. And if he is born at 
or near the equinoxial line, his mind will be drawn 
nearly upward and downward, and more obliquely. 
As you advance toward the poles, fancying that God 
is upward, and the devil downward, which when he, 
the man, becomes acquainted, the biped principle 
ol existence is enabled to see this is the parentage of 
his existence. And ior the privilege of blessing the 
one, he curses the other all the days of his life. For 
the want of the knowledge of the doctrine of pro- 
portion is not able to obey this injunction ; honor thy 
father and thy mother, that thy days be long in the 
land of the living, &c. While he would pretend to 
bless the one, he raving like a wolf on the other, 
which is only the weaker principle of his nature acting.

in an elective position with the 'stronger,' and balanc- 
ed by respiration of his breath. Both the heart and 
brain are in the form of a double globe, or unity of 
two eiiptic, oi globular forms biped us. So there is 
an agreement of all the parts of the body from the 
top of the head, to the sole of the feet, a line being 
drawn through the cenl re of the body, dividing the 
cranium, or base of the head across from the osfrontis, 
Co the occipital bones ; which base is formed togeth- 
er by suters, where they meet like a mouse trap, 
runs through the osfvontis, being united, exhibiting a 
seam. And if a seam priority of the two parts being 
formed seperately bipedus, and kept in a state of 
formation until each of the two parts rest together, 
and forma seam between like suters. And this line 
is in the same form discovered in the skeleton of the 
whole animal creation. And these two parts when 
formed, rest on each other as two upright pillars 
upon a horizontal basis. This being the attitude of 
-foetus before coming into the word. So I will say a 
'little about its motion or action in a practical or me- 
chanical sense. Were one to ask me how I held my 
watch so still in my left hand, for I perceive a tre- 
mor in it, so as to centre all those little pivots, and 
treat them with due delicacy ; I say to him, because 
there is a tremor in the other hand in which I hold 
my pliers. I endeavour to bring the little finger of 
my right hand in the horizontal contact with the lit- 
tle finger of the left, and secure the greatest possible 
rest that can be secured, Why or for ? Because 
the motion or tremor is bipedus on the screw, or cir- 
cuitous principle meeting each other, as horizontal 
basis of rest. The action in each hand being oppo- 
site to each other. 

As nature stands as two energies in a male and fe 
male point of view, on a principle of flux and re 



55 

ilux, under two energies or actors. Electors now. 
if the earth, or nature, is on a decline at the coition? 
or beginning to be of a child, a female ensues on the 
weaker motion of the circles of nature ; which two 
motions proceed from two dead points in the oblique 
eliptical figure of nature, tending to one equal. cen- 
tre of the whole. And if on the rise a male ensues, 
as all nature acts on a principie of flux and reflux, 
like rising and falling, or ebbing and flowing, and as 
these motions precede each other alternately, there 
fore we behold the earth nearly diversified with 
males and females. How is this to be discovered ? 
says another. From the oblique eliptic angles in 
nature, or might say circles in nature, crossing each 
other at legal centres. Therefore being biped, cen- 
tering in from two dead points on the circumfer- 
ence of these circles, which circles stands oblique,, 
eliptical to each other, not to themselves, therefore 
crossing each other at certain legal angles, adhering 
to one legal centre. This being the attitude at each 
and every coition, and this varying in progressive 
order no tw T o times are alike, as nature is in con- 
tinual motion in progressive order, therefore these 
dead points on the circumference vary in like pro- 
portion, together with all these circles forming new- 
centres, from two dead points on the circumference 
of these circles, acting on a triangle* Therefore 
on the lever power, for w r here two triangles meet in 
an oblique position, which all the circles in nature 
act in an oblique eliptical power, therefore the prin- 
ciple of the lever power is discovered. For in- 
stance we will speak of a oil mill, or press. We 
see two oblique bars or levers coming together at 
the one end, and the other ends extended in an ob- 
lique position, in a somewhat triangular form. This 
same principle may be discovered in all the circles 



56 

tn nature, and perfectly mechanical, acting in con- 
cert with the other mechanical powers. Now any 
circle, or wheel, that performs a rotary motion, 
there are two dead points in that circle that can be 
pointed out to a careful observer, and will apply to 
all the circles of nature ; for all the circles in na- 
ture are performing rotary motions, as it respects 
themselves, in an abstract point of view. But as 
these circles act in concert, the attitude is oblique 
eliptical. In a triangular form it is very evident 
that the four mechanical powers act in concert, not 
abstract. On the principles of geome, or in other 
words geometry, as four heads centre in one head, 
called geome, the head of the mechanical powers. 
I will endeavour to give some little description of 
the wheel, in a plain and definite manner as possi- 
ble. When we examine the verge wheel of a watch 
while under full motion, for the keeping of time, It 
is amotion of action and reaction, vibration and re- 
vibration, on the surface, or on the circumference 
of this wheel, to two certain points and then return. 
Understand dead points. For inasmuch as this 
wheel reacts, or retraces, there must consequently 
be two perfectly dead points in that wheel, and the 
power striking this wheel at two points, at oblique 
eliptical angles, tending to one equal centre on the 
lever power, in concert with the three other powers* 
But the lever power is almost visible. So in other 
drafts the wheel, screw, or wedge will be more vis- 
ible. How big are those points ? says another. I 
can define a straight line, but have no language to 
qualify to the size of a point. Please define a 
straight line then ? says another. It is the nearest 
possible distance between two points ; it would be 
morally impossible for two points ever to precisely 
meet. For was it, any two in nature to meet would 



57 

bo no longer points, not in positive and definite 
style, so that the points must be small indeed where 
the force of the main spring strikes these dead 
points, seeing there is no language to qualify them. 
Now the character of that watch is formed from 
these two dead points, inasmuch as there are two 
deaths in that wheel which forms the character of 
the watch. The length of that death cannot be as- 
certained, being that there is no language to quali- 
fy it. There are two dead points in every other 
wheel in the little biped machine, which dead points 
are as visible as that in the verge wheel, but indis- 
cribable,but unanswerably true. As I am endeavour- 
ing to shew a loss of time in this little biped time 
keeper, which loss is indiscribable, so this loss is 
on account of these dead points. Just so it operates 
on the great time keeper. These dead points caus- 
es a loss of time, and this loss is experienced in due 
time, and it becomes necessary to change the style 
of the seasons, othenvays we might have December 
for May or June. As every thing is acting on 
a fluxing and refluxing motion biped, from two gen- 
eral dead points on the circumference tending to 
to one general centre. 

By a complete number of these oblique eliptic cir- 
cles, in a somewhat triangular form, some may be 
very curious to know the change of the seasons, the 
form of the ecliptic, and the figure of the twelve 
sings of the zodiac. The change of seasons into 
four portions from the four grand dead points, or 
cardinal points, as denominated in the law of crea- 
tion. Some may say let us entangle him in his own 
talk, and tie him with his own cord. I will acquaint 
all such curious ones that (his annumeration is a 
mere beverage, and are in no ways holden to make 
a recital. But if it be of any use to mine enemy, or 



58 

those curious ones of the earth, my labour will be 
well rewarded. Why a beverage? says another. 
Because in the advertisement I have undertaken to 
show the biped figure of nature in order to illustrate 
an active trinity, by which every thing did exist, and 
does exist, and ever will through the annals of a nev- 
er ending eternity; and endeavour to bring it home 
to you as the first engagement in the plan, being the 
first in consequence. Bring it home to you in room 
of the Roman indiction or indication, of a cross. I 
I bring to view a substantive active trinity, as the 
first consequence of my work ; but not first in the 
order of communication or writing. Therefore when 
this is proved my obligation ceases, and I have an 
honest right of retirement. And as my endeavour 
was to set forth original, or primitive ideas, speaking 
in a general point of view, and not particular, there- 
fore I have endeavoured to draft a general set of ad- 
jectives, or in other words, general hieroglyphics, as 
qualifying one general declaration, to raise the mind 
to its primitive attitude. Wherewith, it might be 
said, after the image of God created he them. And 
what more noble theme can be presented to the hu- 
man mind to form the character of God from that ; to 
shew the works of G od that we be enabled to praise 
him for his goodness for ever. And were I to de- 
scend to particulars would exceed the limits of this 
work: therefore [ endeavour to bring my witness 
representatively in form of concert, as in five por- 
tions ; as the origin of man from four cardinals, or 
dead points. And the pursuit of man in his pro- 
bation season under the principles of a two footed 
biped issue. The motion of the great theatre as my 
third witness, and language and music making five 
in all ; which five I address to the five senses, or five 
human operations, as the five orders of work of the 



59 

great geometrician. And illustrate in the scheme, 
or noble theme. First. Genesis, or generation. Se 
cond. Exodus, or exode; to travel, or a travel, 
Thirdly. Leviticus, or prieslhood. Fourthly. Wum- 
bers, or plurality. Fifthly. Deuteronomy, or duty and 
honour, referring to a biped issue, as duty is enjoin- 
ed on the minority by virtue of the issue, so honour 
is also enjoined on the majority as not to muzzle the 
ox that treadeth out the corn. 

As you here touch on language and music again, 
and have said the four mechanical powers are as 
iour heads centering in geome, what has the four me- 
chanical powers to do with those two sciences which 
include all audibility? Because all audibility \- 
either oral, or poetica, and all communications stand 
impannelled in these two classes. I say either oral, 
or poetical, or in other words musical. As de- 
cency and order should be observed in all things, 
says the enquirer, which do you class first. First in 
order, ori, or poesi ; as one in order must forego the 
other. First in consequence, then to proceed, every 
thing of a declaratory nature is oral ; and every 
thing that ascents to such oral declaration, either pas- 
sively or actively, is of a musical nature as a repeti- 
tion, or a tracing something heretofore said. There- 
fore minor, or second as to its classing. Now as you 
have made use of some mechanical expressions, I 
want you to show me what bearing mechanism has on 
audibility. I know that the classing is thus and 
thus,as above cited. Further then of language; seeing 
it is rather oral than otherways, and deserves the first 
description. As it is heretofore said in some previ- 
ous pages, that the sound is not in the head but in 
the air ; so of the instrument, &c. No more than 
the object, such as men, beast, and landscapes were 
in the eye, but only the image of the object; so the 



60 

image or fashioning is of the instruments or organs of 
speech. But the object language is in the air, 
brought into the air,or on the air,by force,whieh cre- 
ates vibration of the air, which force strikes the air 
oblique eliptical, falling from the organ ; not rising 
but falling oblique, and returns eliptical to the audi- 
ence addressed. Were this force to pass offin parallel 
lines, would make no sound at all; having no effect 
on the air whereby a vibration could possibly be ; so 
we see the attitude oblique eliptical. Producing a 
purchase on a lever principle from two dead points, 
on the extremity of the eliptical circle of air which is 
put in flux or vibration by the torce of the lungs, tend- 
ing to one general centre,giving communication to the 
audience addressed ; and the two grand dead points 
©n the circumference give relation to a complete 
number of dead points in the eliptic circle spoken of, 
from which a variety is made up ; because the force 
must strike at these points in order to make vari- 
ety of sounds from which a choice is made up, and 
this force from two dead, or stationary points, flow- 
ing to all the angles on this before-mentioned elipti- 
cal circle, or system of circles, which produce varie- 
ty, and from such variety government and agreement 
You might make almost the same recital of music. 
The only difference of consequence is the lines are 
not so oblique eliptical, therefore not so harsh. Why 
not so harsh ? Because the same force does not pro- 
duce so great a purchase on the air ; the lines being 
more oblique ascending. Therefore less purchase on 
the air, but biped in its nature, as though it was ever 
so ora/ or masculine. 

Thou dost say much of angles and the power of 
them ; and in thy description of language and music 
speak of two lines, or two equilateral lines, proceed- 
ing from two stationary points on the circumference 



61 

of a circle to one centre which makes sound, and 
the variation of that sound in proportion to the ob- 
liqueness of these equilateral lines, which oblique- 
ness is increased, or decreased, by lessening, or in- 
creasing the distance of these two stationary points 
on the circle referred to, as it increases the friction 
in proportion to the diametrical position these two 
lines stand in to each other, proceeding from the two 
points on the circle, tending to one equal centre in 
aaid circle; which description, says the enquirer t 
forms a triangle,or figure of three lines, Thensays the 
enquirer, there must be an object in thy research ; 
for the image I behold trinal as yet, like all the rest 
of thine imagery. Says another, what is the use of 
the triangle ? To find all centres, and the diame- 
ter of circles, heights, and distances, either long or 
short. How is the nature of the angle ascertained, 
as its nature is varied in relation to its oblique equi- 
lateralness? By the square. Then, says another* 
what can be the use of the triangle and square ? It 
gives the use of a compass or a true circuit. What 
is the compass good for ? That you may know the 
extent of the nature and boundary of thy worko 
Please show us some practical figures on the triangle 
square ? Firstly, to illustrate ; suppose you want to 
pass a certain river, or great width, its distance is 
unknown; you are unable to chain, or pole it, but it 
becomes necessary to know the exact distance, as 
you have engaged to build a bridge : you build your 
abutments on the banks of either side, then before 
you cut your timbers to fill the intermediate space 
between these abutments, it would be necessary to 
furnish yourself with information as to length a#$ 
size, which length and size must be in proportion to 
one another. The triangle will give it exactly, arid 

6 



62 

the nature of the angle is learned from the square 
Observe illustration. {See plate A. p. 63.) 

First inquiry ; obtain one straight line twelve feet, 
Or any other given number of feet, pointing to the 
unfound pillar, or to the distance sought for, putting 
down your mark or point, twelve feet back of the 
first abutment, then lay your square along this line 
as on the plan or plate, in order to get the bottom line* 
or base,for it is necessary this.line be found exact; then 
measure each way of the centre line after found, al~ 
so bottom line, or base ; which base is found by the 
square measure. I say six feet upon this base ei- 
ther way, and place two points as on the plate, then 
draw two equilateral lines starting from these two 
last stationary points as set on the plate, meander- 
ing in at one equal centre to the pillar sought for 5 
making one straight line, and two equilateral ones, 
making three in all. Now understand the lines are 
found, and the angle of the two equilateral lines on 
either side of the straight line, and also the base, or 
first number, which is twelve, as a foundation to 
enable you to make the enquiry as how far is it to 
the abutment or point, &c. on the opposite bank of 
the river referred to, and the degree of the angle as 
another number ? Now measure up these two equi- 
lateral lines from the two corner points, as on the 
plate illustrated, to the abutment already found, get 
the precise distance, and see how much farther on 
the equilateral lines than on the centre line. And 
as one of these numbers are to the other, so is this 
other referred is to the answer sought for. As much 
as to say these equilateral lines contract one inch in 
running twelve feet from the centre point on the cen* 
tre )ine ; that is to say, it requires one inch more 
equilateral line to every twelve feet than centre line. 
Then measure across the base or abutment, and 



63 




Plate B, 




Plato A. 



64 

learn the contraction obtained of these eqilatera 
lines by tracing up twelve feet ; and as twelve feet 
is from the centre point on the centre line, from the 
first base, is to the width of the second base at the 
abutment, so is this last number that is found by 
these equilateral lines at the second base to the an* 
swer. As if these equilateral lines contract one inch 
in twelve feet, on a twelve feet base, in traversing up 
a centre line, how far will you traverse up these eqi- 
laterals to find the precise length of the centre line* 
which answers your question. Any height, or dis- 
tance whatever, height of buildings, steeples, moun- 
tains, trees, &c. may be accurately ascertained. 
The distance from earth to sun, or any of the pla- 
nets or fixed stars, with all their necessary revolu* 
lions for existence, with the greatest precision. So I 
put down this illustration of the square and triangle 
in form before you, showing that the square presents 
the triangle ; the square and triangle both united pre* 
sent the compass. Of the distance of all the lights in 
the canopy of heaven are from one another, and al- 
so how far either of them are from the earth of 
which we inhabit. I take it upon me to give 
a small illustration to throw some light on what has 
"been before said, relative to oblique lines, or equilat- 
eral lines of triangles, and two points, on a circum- 
ference tending to one centre is to propagation, also 
language and music. But, says another, you said 
propagation did take place on the power of these 
lines crossing each other. This, your triangle, falls 
short of illustrating, and you neither express propa- 
gation, language, or music as biped on the square or 
triangle, therefore I do not see what these emblems 
have to do with your declaration that two are bet- 
ter than one. Because they have a good reward of 
their labour. This, says mine opponent, is your plea, 



65 

and at the same time asks the question, why do you 
not stick to thy declaration or plea ? Lest I should 
lose my position, hear me a little further; now as 
you have the use of the square, triangle, and the 
power of them, let me put the draft in a little differ* 
ent shape. (See plate B. p. 63.) 

Now these lines can be seen crossing each oth- 
er at an equal centre ; giving harmony, beauty, and 
strength to each other, as two triangles centering to- 
gether from two equilateral lines from the cir- 
cumference, and when thus united in the form of an 
hour glass fitted up for use, with the sands passing 
through the centre, as to express bipidity or unity* 
Now as there has been said in relation to propaga- 
tion being under the government of two dead or sta- 
tionary points on the circumference, tending to one 
equal centre, which these two points, when found in 
relation to any male child, these two points give di- 
rection to the two equilaterals of that child, or eqi« 
lateral lines, which,in the Judea times,were sought for 
at eight days old. And this was called circumcising 
ihe child at eight days, &c. Why ? Because the 
true circuit as to its circumference and centres are 
found ; or in the true meaning of the phrase, circum- 
cised ; which two points were kept by the parents 
of the child, as godfather and godmother, untilhand- 
ed over to their highpriest for its security. That it this 
record of the two lines of that child may in due time 
be restored to the archives of heaven. This was an- 
cient Judeaism. But new lords, new laws — the times 
have altered. There are no infants circumcised at 
at present, because it was done away at the incar« 
nation of this one undivided one of the issue referred 
to, but will sooner or later be restored to I&rael again 
as formerly. But since the incarnation for wise pur- 
poses, only impannelled in the high archives above* 

# 6 



66 

a ceremony of circumcising has been kept up in ho- 
nour of that most enlightening and ancient institution, 
by the use of the square, triangle, and compass 
And this mode of measurement, or circumcising, in- 
dents on the memory a monitorial lesson, never tobe 
forgotten by such candidate while passing the cheq- 
uered scene of life. This is ancient geometry, or Ju« 
deaism, founded on geome, or illustrated from the four 
mechanical powers, as four rivers, which head inge- 
ome or ori. 

And that the kingdom of heaven is within you 
says Jesus. God is there, and not in attitude or at 
a distance ; in all his true worshipers, and ever has 
been from time immemorial, and ever will through 
the annals of eternity. But with a little encourage- 
ment from the learned clergy we become confirmed 
in the belief of all our opinions about God being up- 
ward and the devil downward; and these are contra- 
ry the one to the other. The Lord is a striving to 
gain a kingdom on the one hand, and the devil on 
the other, and all that God is not able to solicit into 
his kingdom, the devil shall take to his. Now if lan- 
guage has any force at all, or meaning, one is made a 
God by this clergy, and the other acknowledged to 
be a semi God, or a great God, and a lesser God. 
Now such a mockery on the character of the living 
God, who dwells between the cherubims by these 
pretended classical clergy, is an impeachment on in- 
finite wisdom, that makes me shudder while I write. 
Being sensible at the same time, they, these learned 
divines, tyave the knowledge of proportion, and in 
room of preaching the doctrine of the cross, or biped 
issue, tell about a wooden cross, which was raised 
ip by the Romans as a figure of the substantive is- 
ie j and they 1 eceiving from five hundred to a thou- 
id dollars a year, to show us how to cornmemo- 



67 

rate the death and sufferings of a Jesus, on a wooden 
cross, in room of setting forth a contradiction of sin- 
ners in room of setting forth the principles of propor* 
tion as deduced from the grand theatre of existence. 
This must be kept under a sublime secret, that the 
world may never divine. Yet the world are tributa- 
ry to them, supporting them in eminence with there 
blue and black coats ; and they like a set of mum* 
mies, have eaten and drank up all. In fine the doc- 
trine they teach has gone through the bowels often 
thousand, and become fit for nothing but to be cast 
off with the draught. I do not wish to infer that alt 
the preachers of this wooden cross has the knowledge 
ot architecture, or proportion ; by no means. So all 
those who have not this knowledge, are not willfully 
guilty of preaching this wooden cross ; while, at the 
same time, they have a better understanding of the 
matter. But many preach it through tradition. Say, 
because others have said, like the parrot, too lazy 
to study for themselves ; not considering a man with- 
out study, like a pudding without salt, becomes quite 
unsavory. I would infer that the Masonic System is 
the knowledge of proportion ; and it is the same 
knowledge that the Jews before them boasted of; 
and the ancient Egyptians still farther back. Also, 
the ancient Antideluvians, who first received their 
knowledge from Enoch, who was the first translated 
from the dark imagination of his mind to the knowl- 
edge of the glorious and fair principles of proportion. 
And that this has been the same in all ages, and 
among all nations, their reach of mind has been the 
same. It is a system of government and agreement^ 
adhering to two general lines which supposes a Shi- 
law to come and restore, or make good, all things 
when necessity shall require it. Of the hour no man 
knoweth but my father which is in heaven, sayeth 



68 

Jesus. And I would represent them as one general 
compact, parellel with Enoch, completely agreed ill 
there undivided one of this issue, or a Shilaw to come, 
And whatever the eruptions or commotions concern- 
ing national government, and however high the 
commotion has arose amidst nations when they meet, 
they are all agreed, and if men of different nations 
happen to come in contact in the field of battle, and 
if the weaker party hails the other with an architec- 
tural or Masonic sign, it hushes the scene to peace, 
That they are one, on this exalted system of propor- 
tion, needs no farther argument. And they are im- 
pannelled as one grand general compact, and hold 
all other considerations in a minor consideration to 
that, to the extent of church and state, and will leave 
either of these posts if the safety of the grand system 
required it, without a great deal of hesitancy ; and 
that all other subordinates are found in their hands 
as the clay in the hands of the potter, and that there 
are many who have not the knowledge of this system* 
have layed hold of them like the seven women lay- 
ing hold on one man, saying we wi 11 eat our own bread, 
and wear our own clothing, only let us be called by 
thy name ; and that the whole world is in their pos- 
session, and subdivided according to necessity, hav- 
ing reference to the manners and customs of each na- 
tion, as they have been taught by their predecessors. 
As to the government to which they, as different clas- 
ses, shall subscribe, and as all the laws are only made 
for the unruly and disobedient/and only a terror to 
them as evil doers. 

All the laws are framed by men of masonic under- 
standing, accommodated to t?>e different nations 
which are to be governed by them, and all the diff- 
erent governments when framed, are subservient to 
the grand system, governing the whole as one grand 



69 

compound or compact ; and this is the reason, when 
they meet in the field of battle, all is peace. Why ? 
Because they recognize each other as parts of one 
stupendious whole, as one undivided compound 
which never has been rent, although shaken at dif- 
ferent times, and very sorely reprimanded. Altho- 
they have taken the woman in adultery, and by her 
own mouth do they judge her. Why shall we say so ? 
sayeth the inquirer. Because the confession of hu- 
mility, or submission, is a confession of a minority, as 
a minority of a nation subscribing to the majority by 
virtue of the race run, or issue, as claimed by the ma- 
jority, by sending out their peace hearalds, or clergy? 
and claiming submission oi the minority to the ma- 
jority by virtue of the issue of the compact,, which 
took place at the election of the chieftain of the gov- 
eminent That ye have raised your voices against 
this man who does rule, is quite certain, by saying 
ye would not have this chieftain rule over you. Now, 
says the authorized clepgy, ground your arms of re- 
bellion, confess your former imagination was alto* 
get her libellous and derogative to the peace and good 
order of good government, and ye shall be saved from 
the scourge of the law. The majority have a good 
right to make by virtue of the issue, &c. Come, fall 
down before us, that we can bear home thy names 
as seals to our ministry, as ministers of reconciliation 
to our employers. Be reconciled to them, for we 
have lain hold of the skirts of their garments, and de- 
termined by our zeal in the good cause of reconcili- 
ation, to be called by their name, if at the expence 
of eating our own bread and wearing our own appar- 
el. The reader will understand those who have not 
the knowledge of proportion, but eating their own na- 
tive bread of ignorance, having a zeal without 
knowledge, &c. I only make this innumeration to 



70 

express legal attitude, not to cast any reflection or* 
any particular set of men, but show the general sub- 
ordinancy of the world to the grand system of archi- 
tecture, or legal proportion, that the church, the 
grand her, having been, and are now, legally solicit- 
ed in, by these legal solicitors, to be humble, and 
the doctrine humility and submission is in unison 
with the woman being caught in adultery; being 
caught in the very act. And that the grand case 
stand thus and thus impannelled, for a general judg* 
ment no comment is necessary, and they who are 
raised are made free from this minor principle. The 
result of our own weak nature, wove in the web at 
the coition of our existence, whereby we are held in 
captivity to the law of sin and death, and all our life 
time subject to bondage, some may say this is only a 
burlesque on solemnities, and is not worthy public 
notice. But the honest inquirer, will soon see the 
object of this little work is to uncover native attitude^ 
®r exhibit the naked carcass of architecture, or frame 
of the grand building in order to express its bipidity ; 
and bipidity in order to show covenantai agreement 
in due time, or a matrimonial harmony ; a union of a 
certain parental relation at the birth of a legal medi- 
ator, will bring to an agreement his parentage, and 
be God of the agreement or marriage. And this bi- 
ped relation must be expressed in order to show the 
office work of a mediator, that we may praise him 
for his goodness forever. I will earnestly request 
my readers not to notice the small stuffs by the way f 
and so by it loose the grand object. As in the fore- 
part of my writing of this little work, the chain of ar- 
gument seems to predicate against literal govern- 
ment, as though I had a personal antipathy against it, 
&c. Although this may seem like small wood in view 
of mine enemies, and of a combustible nature, and 



71 

quite likely to take fire* But I will acquaint the in 
cendiary that I have not attended a public election, 
and give my vote, for this or that, since I first be- 
come acquainted with this biped figure of the grand 
theatre of existence, which is better than nine years 
since, and reason teaches if that alone agrieved me, 
I should long ago assailed out for redress ; but this 
is not the case. Then if the inquirer still pur- 
sues, my answer is obvious and plain ; our language 
is figurative, and the adjective must agree with the 
substantive, in order to qualify it. And these ad- 
jectives or hieroglyphics are only suited to the sub- 
stantive conveyed, or brought to view in the sub- 
ject. And that I have no personal animosity to 
any man, w r hereby I write, I now answer in view of 
the solemnities of a judgement to come. I only 
iftake t^iis apology for the good of the reader, that 
hi^mipd may not so soon be swerved from the gen- 
eral inquiry by the tongue of slander, who in the end 
only bring a reproach on themselves. The reader 
will, if he receive my meaning, be enabled to be- 
hold the society of free-masonry co-extensive with 
the four quarters of the globe ; and all united as 
one compact. And all who have not the knowledge 
of proportion, as there is quite a majority, are call- 
ed heathen, and their notions of things, aside from 
architecture, is called the heathen mythology. Why? 
Because the principles as referred to af e- deduced 
from no legal premises, but founded in the imagina- 
tion of the mortal mind ; and therefore vanity, arid 
worse than vanity. And that all subordinacy is in 
their hands, as one general compact. As the legal 
stewards of the whole, and acccountable for the 
whole, the minority as refered too. And so to 
conduct the great ark through the chequered 
scene of life, as it may be moored in the haven 
of eternal rest, or uninterrupted repose. This ap« 



72 

pears to be the grand object of creation and per 
petuation from time immemorial ; as God gave her 
to him to rule over, and he shall rule over thee. 

I have endeavoured to show the necessity of this 
sexual, or biped relation, showing that there could 
be no reciprocal union without it. For there could 
be no government or agreement, for God said it is 
not good for man to be alone. Therefore God 
brought on the man a deep sleep, and took from his 
side a rib, of which he made an help-meet, to in 
some measure supply the lack, as it was not good 
for man to be alone, &c. Therefore the trial that 
indicates a judgment to come, is between a parental, 
or sexual biped issue ; as much as to say, how have 
you done one to another 1 how has this issue been 
conducted ? And that this attitude is calculated 
to bring forth, and multiply, and replenish. And 
this one as refered to, as being brought forth, is a 
legal mediator of the covenant between this issue as 
is referred to, and is a judge in Israel. Why ? Be- 
cause he is the neutral, or key-stone of the grand 
arch of the two sexes, or pillars, of universal exis- 
tence ; being a participator of two natures, but one 
divine substance, as denominated in the law of cre- 
ation. Therefore, essentially, God of the supposed 
union, and also as Moses and Miriam sung when 
they crossed the red sea ; so will these two sexes as 
fefered to, be enabled to sing a song redeeming 
love to this represented, undivided one, who 
brought about the harmony from two general lines, 
in the grand musical lyre, for which Moses and Mi- 
riam now stand as the two legal types refering to the 
parentage of the issue. What do you mean, says 
the inquirer, by two lines ? Do you mean as the 
lines of a man as being born of such and such an one 
being born of such an other, as to express two cer* 



73 

tain lines ? or do you mean to bring in the figure of 
speech relative to music and language ? While ex- 
pressing their biped nature and attitude, to suppose 
that the great theatre will be brought in tune in the 
end, to praise the builder, and this in a biped atti- 
tude. For what God hath joined together let not 
man put assunder. For these lines in the great mu- 
sical theatre must be adhered to, in order to amount 
to an harmony, lest it still be said, J am the drunk 
ard's song; I am a bye-word of the people; and they 
still saying there is no hope in God for my soul. Do 
you here mean to infer that this lo here, and lo there* 
although fraught with much labour of love and zeal, 
is only the drunkard's song, and a bye-word drank on 
the wine of the kingdom of God. And the song they, 
or the great musical lyre seem to present, is the drun- 
kard's song. Why ? Because it is without concord 
or agreement. And in conclusion, if the sequel 
should seem to present Samson between the two 
principle pillars of the great heathen, or Philistine 
Temple, with both his eyes out, and in possession of 
power and sufficient strength to tare it down, also all 
the lords of the heathens or Philistines there; and an= 
other phrase, heap upon heap have I slain a thousand 
men, when speaking of the jaw bone of the ass; or 
as before explained, ignorance, which is synonymous 
with ass, in the original proportion or geometry, 
then what is the meaning of the phrase heap upon 
heap ? or heap after heap ? who have one after an- 
other endeavoured to guess this great secret of na- 
ture, and failed ? Why failed ? Because it is only 
plowing with the heifer that this secret or riddle can 
be attained unto. Had ye not plowed with my heif- 
er, ye would not found out my riddle. But do yoq, 
says my opponent, insist on the power and efficac/ 
of the woman and the truth, and thus under-value 



74 

the wine of the gospel of the grace of God of the one 
part, and the strength of a king with the reigning 
power of the law of the spirit of life of another part ; 
and so insist on this wise cometh the victory ; and 
so bless the God of truth. So sayeth mine opponent, 
thou seemest to excel in wise speeches, and the na- 
ture of thy plea is not hid from mine ear, which is to 
build up the waste places of Jerusalem, and at the 
same time acknowledge the strength of wine, and the 
force of it, although it make all men err that drink it, 
And in the sequel does seem to speak in a little high- 
er tone of the king. Why or for ? He planted the 
vineyard from whence we received the wine, that 
maketh the heart of the king and the fatherless child 
Jo be all one, of the bondman,and of the freeman, and 
of the poor man, and of the rich. For I say thy plea 
eeems to present this Sovereigness, Virgin, the great 
Eve, as the mother of all living. She brought forth 
the king who planted the vineyard, and sets as sove- 
reigness to truth, which, with truth, is no unrighteous 
thing. And the earth called upon, the truth, 
and the heavens blessed it. As for the truth it endu- 
reth, and is always strong ; it liveth and conquereth 
for ever more. And so in the nature of thy subject 
there to hold thy peace. 

I will call my watchabipeder. Why? Because the 
motion of the verge wheel is biped, or bipedus, that is, 
it passes into motion from two d ead or stationa ry points, 
seeking a living or centre point in form of an equilat- 
eral triangle, on an angle ol three lines ; and because 
the character of the little machine, as well a^ the nature 
of it, is established from those two stationaries or dead 
points upon a given circle, which space between the 
two dead points on the circle relates to time, and I 
might more properly and technically call the verge 
the trigger to the machine. Why? Because all the 



75 

parts and principles about the watch weight on the 
let, or hinder of this little key, being the proper key 
between the two points of power, or as two energies 
which the arch of the circle is ever kept good. An- 
other reason why I called it biped, is because the 
strength of the little machine is divided in such an 
ingenious manner that the mainspring strikes, or the 
force finds a way to the two dead, or stationary points 
on the circle, which force is from one cause. The 
spring producing two energies, acting in concert one 
with the other, therefore walks as having two feet, or 
as biped. There are two dead points spoken of in 
the circuitous motion of the verge wheel, which re- 
late to the dead time in the motion of the earth, for 
there are two certain dead points in every thing that 
has an existence, by flux or reflux, vibration and revi- 
bration, or ebb and flow, or respiration. I say the 
watch, to personify, points a living finger to inform us 
of the high arch in nature coming forth of one cause ; 
producing two energies in concert in a biped atti- 
tude. I say the watch points a living finger to the 
action of the earth relative to the dead points spoken 
of. The loss of time is readily seen in the watch on 
account of these dead centres in the machine, so in 
the ebb and flow of nature, once in a given time, 
causes a loss of time on the great wheel of nature, 
which obliges us to change the style from old to new; 
otherwise we should have June for December. Says 
one, please define a point by some plain or qualified 
expression; but when we consider it, we find it be- 
yond our reach to make a definite communication ; 
it is easy to define a straight line, which to define, is 
the nearest possible distance between two points, 
which definition is beyond the power of the critic; 
but I see it is not so in defining one point. The best 
definition in my judgment, is to say, a point is with- 



76 

out space ; but wlien you have said that there is a con- 
tradiction in terms, for there is a space of time that is 
lost in the motioning of the watch every time it comes 
at one of these two stationary points, which space oi 
time relate to the space on the circle of which the 
verge wheel vibrates in, and as there is some space 
of time occupied at each of these points, there must 
be more or less space on the circle occupied in pro- 
ducing a reacting motion. But the point must be 
very small indeed, or space on the points where the 
mainspring strikes them, and this space of time re- 
lates to size of the diameter of the circle, the smal- 
ler the quicker, and the larger the slower; as you 
increase the diameter of the circle, you increase the 
circumference nearly in a three-fold proportion. The 
space refers to the outer circumference of the cir- 
cle. Hence a clock acts on the same principle. The 
top of the pendulum is suspended to a pivot at the 
top called one point, and at the bottom vibrates to 
one dead point, and revibrates to another point on 
a certain given circle in the form of an equilateral 
triangle, and as you increase or lessen the diameter 
of the circle, regulate the clock as to its going faster 
or slower. Why is it so ? Because the form of this 
pendulum at the two points are as two equilaterals 
passing to one centre at the top ; and as you decrease 
the circle, you decrease these, that is to say, length- 
en or shorten the pendulum ; therefore the equi- 
lateral lines ; and the shorter these lines the more 
accute the angle of the equilateral line, as the verge 
acts with a lever purchase on the pendulum. The 
more accute the angle, the greater the purchase ; 
therefore this pendulum passes its centres of tenor, or 
the space on the circle is less in which the pendulum 
secures a reacting motion ; or the space on these 
two dead points less ; or two dead centres less space 



77 

at the two equilateral points formed by the motion 
of the pendulum at the bottom. But the nice point 
ot the inquiry is that every wheel in the watch, yea, 
every motion or principle of it, is stationed on ac- 
count of these dead points, at one, and the same 
time, while the verge pass these dead centres or 
points on the circumference of the circle, which I say 
points a living finger to the dead time, in nature from 
the ebbing and flowing of the tide, being produced 
from these dead points in the great wheel of nature ; 
which dead points accounts for the respiration of the 
animal breath. Also, nights and days succeeding 
each other — darkness is the absence of light. Dark- 
ness proceeds from these dead points, or, in other 
words, the circles of nature proceeding from these 
dead centers. Darkness is the combination of the 
shade of these circles-the circles revolve oblique elip- 
tic,and the shade is in proportion to the compactness 
of these lines. And as these lines are oblique eliptic, 
are thrown open on one equal hemispherical circle 
while closed on the other, and the circles perform- 
ing one revolution around one centre point, in or 
within these circles, causes the nights and days to 
succeed each other hemispherically, once in twelve 
hours. So that vegetation, once in twelve hours, in 
succession, receive the gentle dews, the product of 
these shades. Also in turn the beautiful sunbeams 
with its cherishing power and smiles, proceeding from 
these stationary or dead points in nature, called car- 
dinals, from which every other point, and the power 
of it, is liquidated from the four cardinal points, as 
receiving their direction of angles from the four* 
whether accute or less accute. The more accute, 
the less the circle. Therefore, the influence less ? 
but motion quicker, and less harmonious. These 

circles act on each other in the form of a wedge me 

# 7 



78 

ehanically speaking, or equilateral triangles from 
certain centres on the lever purchase. And the pow- 
er of these levers are in proportion to the acuteness 
of the angle they act in : which cirurnference of the 
grand circle being learnt, called the circle of the 
ecliptic, and by the help of the quadrant, find the 
four cardinals, or the greatest cubic body the earth 
or globe contains, multiplied into its several squares, 
and find its given quantity together with its propor- 
tion, whether earth or water, and obtain a knowledge 
of its dead centres, or stationary points of power for 
action. Then from this relation of points learn the 
nature and extent of the action, with all its probable 
effects. The earth revolves around its own centre 
point, or joint energy or energies, in concert, Bi- 
pedously produced, called the sun, and produces one 
gentle ebb and flow of the watery element like rising 
and falling. The earth performs this revolution 
around its own stationary living point, or centre, on 
the screw principle, therefore impossible to be dis- 
turbed, or driven out of this track, because it acts 
within its own orbit, between two cei tain dead points 
on the circumference, called poles, forming two equi- 
lateral lines to one living point, to the centre of all 
the eliptic circles called the sun. I have said these 
dead points, or centres, in the great theatre, are 
points of living power to all the circles in nature; 
and give direction to the several circles agreeable 
to the relation of these centres one with another, 
whether their angles are accute or less accute, and 
from these circles the light and shade is communi- 
cated* The shade, or night, is only the combina- 
tion of shade from the oblique eliptic revolution of 
ihese circles. In order to produce a friction, acton 
each other bipedly ; therefore in their revolution 
thrown together on one side, and open on the other, 



79 

somewhat hemispherically, and cause the nights and 
days to succeed each other, once in twelve hours, 
all over the temperate zone ; but at the friged zone, 
the night and day succeeds each other, as the win- 
ter and summer succeed each other at the temperate 
zone; once in six months, the light and shade is not 
so powerful in that cold region, as at a milder cli- 
mate. For during this long night at seventy five de- 
grees north latitude, it is never so dark but what the 
natives can see to attend fo their ordinary avoca- 
tions, such as take care of their domestics, ride on 
their sledges behind their rein-deer, see to pick up a 
pin on the floor, &c. Very possible and certain, they 
have as many hours of night all coupled together, as 
one night or winter, as we have at this more temper- 
ate zone. The chief difference is, a succession takes 
place once in twelve hours, days and nights succeed- 
ing each other, and as their night and w r inter are 
coupled together and succeed their summer semi- 
annual, like our winter and summer, the earth and 
sun is so circumstanced at seventy-five degrees north 
latitude, that you may behold the sun six months with- 
out a period of night between. The grand inquiry 
is, why is it so* and what is that relation ? That is to 
say the sun with the earth. How does it appear at 
high and low twelve ? Answer ; the sun at high 
tw r elve, or what we would call noonday, is in a high- 
er, more high attitude, at high twelve, than low 
twelve. It appears to the natural eye to perform a 
motion once in twenty-four hours, on a circle round 
and round, in a given circle, at each low twelve, or at 
midnight, much nearer the earth than at high twelve, 
or at noon day. And as it appears to revolve in this 
circle day after day, approximate nearer to the earth 
until it entirely hides itself behind the earth. So 
when it appears, it appears in like manner on the 



80 

other hand, and as it goes down on the western hori- 
zon, it in six months appears on the eastern, and to 
make its appearance by the same slow, but steady 
march, on the same rotary circle, which appear- 
ance of the circle whether up, or down, which can 
be determined on their dials, and tell whether high 
or low twelve, or any other hour in this circle, the 
same as at latitude forty five ; otherwise they could 
have no way of keeping time only by artificial means, 
which artificial means might fail at some period, and 
leave them ignorant to the question, was it asked of 
the stranger, what time in the summer is it ? &c. But 
this is evidently the case that the sun appears to per- 
form rotary motion, within a contracted circle, and 
as you go north the circle seems to contract in alike 
proportion,until this declination of the sun,or descent 
and ascent in circuitous motion, or revolution of the 
sun, could not be discovered at all. Therefore the 
sun appears of less influence and smaller. Now as I 
have been a long time endeavoring to tell what ap- 
pears to the natural eye, which eye is given to light 
the body, my next endeavor will be, to inform my 
reader what appears to the eye of faith, which eye 
of faith is given to light the body of our understand- 
ing. Altho' the eye of the understanding does not 
give the natural eye of the body the lie in all points, 
but I will venture to say it does in all the important 
ones. And one of the important ones is this ; the sun 
does not perform this circuitous revolution, as en- 
deavoured to be described ; but as I said before, it 
appears so, &c. But the eye of the understanding 
sees it is thus and thus substantially true, as shall 
hereafter be described, viz. There is a track oi a cir- 
cle as is before described. But this track or trace is 
the revolution of the earth around its centre, living 
.point, or sun, which apparent sun is only the joint 



8} 

emenation or refulgence of the eliptic circles ; and 
as you advance north the circle of the ecliptic con- 
tracts, or grows less, therefore the heat less in pro- 
portion to the contraction of the circle. 

The reason why the heat is greater at the equinoc- 
tial line is because the earth performs its revolution 
around its grand centre point in a horizontal man- 
ner. The more horizontal, the greater the circle, 
and consequently the greater the heat, just in pro- 
portion to the extent, or diameter of the circle, whe- 
ther large or small. The motion of the earth de- 
pends on two equilateral lines receiving direction 
from two stationary points or poles, seeking a living 
point or centre,the sun. And was it not for the biped 
issue of nature, there could be no emenation to give us 
light by day or night. But this being the form of 
existence, and the very nature of it, we had as good 
talk of no existence at all as to talk, of it aside from 
her chosen track which she is ever wont to pursue. 

As my object is to prove the circle of the ecliptic, 
varies as you vary as to latitude, whether north or 
south, and that the friction is in proportion to the 
size or diameter of the circle of the earth around the 
sun, or to use my own definition or delineation, the 
earth around its own grand centre from two centres, 
or dead points, giving direction to two equilateral 
lines of triangles, seeking a living point of existence, 
or being, from which forms the ecliptic, and from 
equalangles of this ecliptic proceed all the heat or 
light to cherish the animal and vegetable creation. 
From equal angles,! say from two equilateral lines^ 
adhering to one centre line, producing harmony in. 
or within the circle of the ecliptic,and from such har- 
mony humidity to the animal and vegetable world. 

And as the heat strikes the earth oblique eliptical, 
passing towards the centre of the ecliptic from the 



82 

outer surface in the form of triangles, or equilateral 
lines, which force of the motion of the earth forms 
the circle of the ecliptic round the earth, within a 
certain orbit called the orbit of the earth, and while 
I view the extravagance of some philosophical gen- 
tlemen, I am constrained to more economy in the 
plan of creation, perpetuation, and eternal duration 
of things, for I plainly see some, were they in 
possession of thousands to day, would be as beggars 
quite soon, for the want of economy. Therefore I 
am constrained to say there is but one earth revolv- 
ing within one orbit. Summoned into sphere from> 
or by the use of two dead points, or stationary points* 
called poles ; from which the first principles of bi- 
pidity, or travail of nature, is discovered. And from 
these two dead points, or as two stationaries or pil- 
lars, as from two equilateral lines in nature, the sun 
and moon appear in certain relation to the earth 
under the government and agreement of these eqi- 
laterals as before described. 

As much is said about two points, or stationary 
points of living power, or the government of two 
points, look of the eliptic figure on plate D, and see 
how I secure the elipticalness by putting two points, 
or pins, in a smooth place, put a cord over the two 
pins, tied together at the two ends, then I put my 
pencil within the double of the cord, and so proceed 
around these two points ; and in relation to the con- 
traction, or extension of the points, my figure becomes 
eliptic. So place these two points or pins at a pro- 
per distance, and your triangular string, or loop of 
the right length, it will show the eliptical figure of the 
earth, or give any figure of an arch required, and 
wholly governed by these two points. 

Please notice the shape of the triangles, varying as 
y ou advance around the two points, the position of 



83 

the levers and power varying according to position 
or relation of the angle with the two points, and all 
governed by the two points. And as you bring your 
pencil in opposition to one point, and the other point 
standing in contact in a right line between your pen- 
cil and the opposite point, you describe a strait line 
having no angle to the right or left. So in passing 
around in this eliptic track you find two of these dead 
centres where these triangles have no power at alL 
Please take this above description for the very flush 
manner in which I use the above terms in this work* 
As all the stars in the canopy of heaven, or might 
have said all within the circle of the ecliptic, appear 
from the variation ot the angles within the circle of 
the ecliptic, where the force of motion, the circles of 
nature cross each other. Within the circle of the 
ecliptic, and the sun, moon, and all the subordinate 
lights are only refulgencies of the eliptical circles in 
nature, and appear around the visible horizon to rule 
the day and night as so many refulgencies, or as so 
many emenations from the circles, within the circle 
of the grand circle, and as many have supposed them^ 
which 1, for conscience sake, call emenations, they call 
them worlds, also tell of their being inhabited. And 
I might here add extravagance after extravagance, 
until the patience of an honest man with such phe 
nomena was exhausted. 1 say of these holy stewards* 
while pretending to show the might, majesty, and 
power of their God, enter into an enumeration of 
worlds existing by his power, peopled for his pleas- 
ure, made miserable or happy to manifest his glory, 
and to make his power known like some very wicked 
prince, which innocence flees from as from a fierce ti- 
ger. Oh ! what extravagance. Me thinks they have 
wasted their substance in riotous living, and are in a 
situation to be exhorted to return to their father's 



84 

house, where there is bread enough and to spare 
And while they make out three Gods, equal in pow- 
er and glory, I only recognize one. Making use of 
the apostle Paul to the Romans, as a rule of investi- 
gation,discover but one God, existing by two holy en- 
ergies, supposing a covenant of life between these 
energies for their mutual benefit and eternal happi- 
ness. And the untarnished glory of this one God,d wel- 
ling between two cherubims, keeping the way of life 
that no wicked steward shall ever be able to hedge 
it up from the world. As something is said about 
the earth revolving around its centre point, or joint 
energy,or emenation, called the sun, I wish to be un- 
derstood different than to say the earth performs a 
revolution around its own geographical centre. 

The centre referred to is a geometrical, or me- 
chanical centre. The centre of facilities of action, 
liquidated from two equilation lines, pointing to a 
centre line, or equinox, producing harmony and hu- 
mility, or variety, on the principles of symetry and 
proportion. The heart of the animal creation is 
not in the centre, only in a geometrical or mechani- 
cal sense, and in this sense it is strictly the case, 
for we behold every principle, or tie of nature, tri- 
butary to the heart, and revolve around it as the 
grand umpire of all the facilities of life or being. 
Then to sum up the items of faith deduced from the 
volume of inspiration, as from the original, it was 
not good for one to be alone. This, I implicitly be- 
lieve in one God, and two energies or sexes, created 
by this one God, as one divine essence created with 
a covenant of life, under the penalties of death, in 
case of disobedience to the law of facility or ope- 
ration in the grand movement of the compact of cre- 
ation under certain equilation lines ; and man crea- 
ted in the centre of facility, of operation between 



85 

said equilation, responsible for the movement of the 
whole compact of creation, as the keystone of the 
equilation lines, or pillars of the grand building, of 
arch of created heavens and the earth. And 
every thing played around man at the beginning, as 
the centre of creation, to receive direction and gov- 
ernment from his voice, either by the beckon of hie 
hand, or by the moving of his lips. I believe I saf 
in the great Geometrician as creating the theatre 
biped, male and female, under the fixed and regular 
rules of geometrical proportion, commissioned under 
oblique eliptic lines from two stationaries, or dead 
points, under a promisory covenant to multiply and 
replenish this one earth, acting in one grand circle 
of the ecliptic, within one orbit, bring forth one me- 
diator, being the sexual result of these two energies* 
as one undivided one of the issue, and bring to a 
divine and holy matrimonial covenant, resurrection* 
or replenished state of being. Thus I recognise my 
creator God, that works by means of the four me- 
chanical powers, embracing symmetry, and propor- 
tion. Hence government and agreement of two 
equilateral lines, whose sides and angles are equal 
to one living arch, and so manifest the eternal dura- 
tion of the theatre thus proportioned, or symmetathis- 
ed through their grand revolutions or jubilees. And 
as God gave her to him, under this covenant of obe- 
dience unto life, or disobedience unto death, and 
while symmetry and proportion was adhered to with 
implicit obedience, nature wasted but by slow de~ 
greets ; the equilaterals in nature passing or crossing 
oblique eliptic horizontal. And as nature declines 
the lines vary in like proportion, becoming less 
horizontal and, consequently less harmonious, and 
disease and death steps in. And as nature con- 
tinue ,9 to decline, disease and death more common 

8 



86 

in the compact, as the harmony of these oblique clip- 
tic circles decreased. Hence we see man at the 
beginning enjoying long life ; such as nine hundred 
and sixty-nine years, nine hundred and sixty-two. 
then one hundred and twenty, then three score and 
ten years. I believe the cause of all this variation of 
age is, that nature declines under the power of these 
circles mechanically, as on the screw principle, im 
til it sufficiently declines ; then an incarnation takes 
place between the issue of the two equilateral lines 
of the grand circle, embracing government and 
agreement of the two lines at the declension of na- 
ture, to her medium point, for a replenish, or to make 
herself good. Then a gospel is preached agreeing 
with these two equilation lines, is preached, or the 
good news is rehearsed, revibrated, and re-echoed, 
to the ends of the earth, that a ransom is found, that 
nature cannot waste or decline any more. There- 
fore of a praise nature poetical. I believe 1 say on a 
screw principle, nature, through her various revolu- 
tions,declines and raises. Like rising and falling it de- 
clines until it passes two certain dead or stationary 
points of power, called cardinals; then the incarnation 
takes place between this issue, and carries herself 
by these two dead centres, which is necessary to the 
extreme. So when carried by the two points, as here 
described, nature then is in a state of resurrection. 
seeking,or approximating toward the other two cardi- 
nals, an.d when she, nature, shall pass these, the undivi- 
ded one, will be brought forth of this issue, in order 
to carry her by these other two centres, or cardinals 
This, understand me, makes only one grand revolu- 
tion of the grand ecliptic circle, and all nature me- 
diated, or hath made herself good ; but under the 
same covenant to do and live as before, under the old 
covenant. And so the grand revolutions take place 



87 

according to divine necessity, or economy, one after 
another in succession, in perpetual order, and at each 
of these revolutions a jubilee takes place, agreeing 
with the equilation lines to be enjoyed by the whole 
compact, who have passed the great ordeal. I be- 
lieve the incarnation is canvased, or conceived, in 
the cradle manger or main place of the issue, under 
the government of two equilation lines, within a se- 
cret pavillion, environed around by the secret art of 
the four mechanical powers, sealed with the king's 
signet. And this took place, that is to say, the in- 
carnation, in view of the stewards of these mysteries, 
their all important word there was lost at the build- 
ing of this prophetic Temple, I believe. I say lite- 
rally lost, but substantially secured, in the incarna- 
tion, as the first incentives of the new creation of God* 
in this holy child, wonderful counsellor, mighty God, 
prince of peace. I believe in this words being ope- 
rative before the incarnation, and since that time 
speculative. I believe in this geometrical word was 
in the beginning, with God, the word was God ; and 
operated upon the hearts of the children of men ; and 
was that holy fire that lit on the altar of the heart and 
consumed the acceptible incense. But since the in- 
carnation altogether speculative, and void of opera- 
tive power, and a remembrance of it is kept up in a 
speculative sense in honor to that most sacred institu- 
tion, wating patiently, when it shall be restored again 
for operative purposes. I believe in the law as be- 
ing of an oral nature, and the gospel poetical. I 
believe in the law as being fitted to the declension of 
nature, and the gospel to the reserrection. I believe 
the law was until John, then the gospel was to be 
preached unto all nations, and they that hear shall 
live. I believe in honor to the law, and gospel, both 
that the law has nothing to do with the resurrection 



88 

and the gospel has nothing to do with the fall or de- 
tention of original nature. I believe in the law a& 
oral,the gospel as poetical,and stand alternate one to 
the other, that is one relieves the other, being as 
two distinct covenants under the laws ofdeclention 
binder equilation lines, as in the hand of Adam being 
the grand key of creation ; the noblest work ot the 
creator was put as a representative head over this 
oral declaration, to pass his decline to the medium 
point as before described. I believe in the gospel as 
poetical, and established in the hand of a mediator, 
and on better promises than that of Abel, which me- 
diator is under the government of the grand her, the 
sovereigness of all living, with this poetical song in 
her mouth. A ransom is found a song. I say of deli- 
cate strains fitted to her necessitous condition. 1 be- 
lieve in the necessity of the all important geometrical 
word, being secured while under the government oi 
this sovereigness, until the incarnation shall be re- 
ceived from her loins. I believe in this geometrical 
word as being the power of that holy child by which 
the heavens and the earth will be changed, in a twink- 
ling of an eye, to that original oral state again. I be- 
lieve in the necessity of this w r ord being secured in 
the way prepared, or set forth, until Jacob shall put 
in his rods into the cooling water brook, and see how 
many ringed, streaked, and speckled, will be brought 
forth under the rain of this great sovereigness. I be- 
lieve in the necessity of a variety being brought forth, 
which variety supposes humidity, symmetry, and pro- 
portion, brought forth of this heifer, and so find out 
the riddle by bringing forth the heir with the divine 
word wove in his nature, at the coition of his exis- 
tance. I believe in the necessity of her, Tamuz, hav- 
ing the girdle and staff in order to establish the le- 
gality of her conception, and so establish the charac 



89 

ier of her son, as much as to say, it is his, whose gir- 
dle andstafFthis is ; thou didst give it me in pledge,al- 
though my plea has been recognized as the doc- 
trine of adultery, or the doctrine humiliation, and 
submission, which are synonymous ; therefore look 
on me on account of these heirs which I prove you 
by this girdle and staff. Look on me thou that didst 
raven in the morning of thy being; now at the even- 
ing divide this spoil with me, and let suffering inno- 
cence go out free, that my nakedness, or uncomely 
parts, be clothed as with a garment. This in behalf 
of thy spouse, which I prove thee by the girdle and 
staff. Grant my plea and receive thy property, that 
thy loins may be girt about with truth, and that thou 
might have a staff to lean upon in thine old age. 

That this knowledge of my God might spread like 
a thrifty vine by living waters set, and leave its blos- 
soms fair in every heart, which indicate the fruit of 
peace and love. Although my foes may rise to nip 
it in the bud, that it may ne'er spread forth from its 
silken bands, lest it should decrease the number of 
ivies and brick required at their hands. Oh wretch- 
ed man ! let it ne'er be said, that Israel's God 
will not defend, and bring the oppressed prisoner 
through in spite of all his foes. It is well known that 
Moses, and other messengers of old when with dan- 
gerous murmurs beset, raised up serpents and other 
images that their troubles might be forgot. So let's 
not think strange at the present day, were all the 
brightness of the former to appear with a glorious ad- 
dition to cheer us on the way. Now if my enemies 
a more exalted image, or plan, have dissected, which 
indicate a more valuable expedition, I would give all 
mortal joys away for an exhibition. An exhibition 
do I say, to the whole audience given, to raise their 

notes to praise divine, and make them heirs of hea¥-

en. Although my subject may ill timed appear,some~ 
times solemn, and sometimes full of mirth, but amidst 
It all unveil the truth. Some write for metre sake,and 
some for prose, but let me reason's choice embrace, 
then sense shall direct my pen, and richly crown the 
feast The plan that nature here has laid down for 
universal good,its boundaries doth contain each mov- 
fngpulse,and animates the whole; it points out the ori- 
gin of man,his motions it doth trace until he sleeps in 
death. It proves his origin is by delegation, this pur- 
suit after originated runs to the same. So if the two 
prime motions of the universal cause, direct our 
frame by impartial laws, then think not strange if thy 
servant should rise to point it out, to awake in each 
breast its rational power, to praise its author in a 
higher strain. A higher strain I say, not to keep 
from gathering together, but from studying mischiefs 
against the first moving power in virtue's exhibition, 
which creates our frame, and supports our age, with 
an infinite number of delicacies peculiar to our na- 
tures. So let us never act except reason direct the 
chase; then shalt thou be as an ornament richly set 
with diamonds. Let not not thy mind, thy noblest 
power, swerve here or there except reason be thy 
constant companion. Then thou will be as the sun 
in its full strength, diffusing heat, light, and humidi- 
ty to all around. Let good reason, that abridgment 
of philosophy, be thine only excitement to action. 
Then when thy judge calls to an accouut each throb- 
ing nerve, can say why, and find a long desired re- 
treat from the business and noise of the day. When 
rich dressed metre rise to expose the sense, or smooth 
the sound; or prose, that naKed skeleton of our 
age, an equal part confound, give each their place. 
Then the lyres key may be directed, and all false?

Please give us some definition relative to the living 
geometrical, or mechanical point, there is so much 
said about in thy work, before thou leave the subject, 
Answer, you will take notice of the draft ot the plate, 
which is one circle with four cardinal points, with 
two equilateral lines passing to one equilateral point 
above the circle; the feet or ends of these lines sus- 
pended to two cardinals, at the circumference of the 
circle below, in the form of an equilateral triangle, 
or wedge; also one centre line passing from the cen- 
tre of the circle to the one equilateral point above r 
which figure or plate forms a pyramid, or pyramidi- 
cal height, or a globe exhausted to one equilateral 
point, which point is ascertained from the diameter 
of the circle, and the diameter of the circle found by 
the curvaty of the circle or globe. If you wish to 
measure the contents of a circle take the length of 
the curve line of a semi-circle for your bas^ line, then 
from the extreme of that line abovp form two equilat- 
eral lines, to the extremity of the circle, at the cardi- 
nal points, and form the contents of the circle into a 
triangle or regular angle of threr j lines, and give the 
precise distance of the living point from the cardinal 
points,or globe, and exhibit the globe in the form of a 
pyramid, or pyramidical ; which square measure con- 
tained within the boundaries of the three triangular 
lines,is just equal in square measure ot the circle,and 
multiply this triangle into itself will give thecubic meas- 
ure of the globe in the form of a square pyramid. (See 
plate C.p.92.) Whether the circle of theglobe be large 
or small, it can be measured by the same rule, so as 
I said, add the difference between the curve line of a 
semi-circle to the diameter line thereof; in order t# 
ascertain the amount of the difference, say as 7 is to 
22, or more exactly, as 113 is to 355, or in decimals 
as 1 is to 3141 59, so is the diameter of a circle to the 



92 




circumference. And as a stream cannot rise above 
its fountain, neither can this pyramidical or living 
point. For the circles revolve bipedus, and take 
their form and diameter from the curvaty of the earth ; 
therefore this point cannot exceed its cause. But 
the case is this, the force of the eliptic circles rise to 
a pyramidical point, and form one geometrical centre 
to all the circles in nature as to curvaty, therefore as 
to diameter. 

Where the force strikes the curve of the circle,and 
foims a mirror central in the curve from two equilat« 
eral lines ; and the influence of the heat arising from 
the pyramid equilaterally, is based back again on 
the top of the pyramid, and flows back again to its 
cause; extending to the bottom of the equilateral 
lines of the pyramid from the mirror. 

So the pyradidical points all vary in like propor- 
tion. Thus I represent nature to you as a skeleton of 
circles, whose side and angles are equal to so many 
pyramidical points of stationary power, or facility of 
action. I exhibit the sun, the grand geometrical or 
mechanical centre, or pyramidical point, elected in- 
to existence from the issue of the eliptical circles bi- 
pedly produced. And I exhibit the stary heavens to 
you as each star perched or poled upon the several 
pyramidcalor mechanical centres within the circle of 
the ecliptic; so the distance of the grand mechan- 
ical centre, or sun,can be ascertained. How far from 
the earth, and the track of the circle of the ecliptic,or 
earth around its own geometrical or mechanical cen- 
tre. And as many have given their opinion, and whys 
and wherefores, before me, I give ngnne. Some have 
judged the sun as ninety-five millioia of miles from the 
earth, and the earth turning herself to warm by this 
distant fire. Also the sun abody of<3ombustibles;andif 
combustibles,consumable,and if consumable, must be 



94 

ted by combustion,otherways would sooner or later be 
finally extinguished. The long and short of my defini- 
tion is that all heat is created from friction, domes- 
tic, agreeing with certain issues, either grand or pet- 
ty, and that the nature of the heat is rather electric, 
than proceeding from a disolution of combustion. Now 
to sum up the whole argument in few words in favour 
of this system, and the strength of evidence introdu- 
ced in favour of it, founded on a legal inquiry, it 
amounts to one and the same thing. I present the 
sun, and all the subordinate lights in the canopy of 
heaven, as perched on so many pyramids, as burning 
tapers from the alternate issue of nature, which source 
or fountain is not combustible, therefore not perisha- 
ble, but eternal ; existing from the issue as the foun- 
tain in the eliptic circles biped. 

Firstly, I present procreation from the animal spe- 
cies proceeding from government and agreement, or 
friction of two equilateral lines pyramidical. 

Secondly, I present the pursuit of man, or grand 
practical movement of man, as a system of govern- 
ment and agreement, from two practical equilateral 
lines pyramidical. 

Thirdly, I present to your consideration the mo- 
tion of the earth between two poles, or equilateral 
lines, triangular, or pyramidical. Organized into ex- 
istance between pyramids based upon them for ac- 
tion, as under organized strength for action, which 
strength is organized from two dead points within 
the curve of the circle, and strikes the concave side 
of the circle, and forms a mirror from two equilateral 
lines, proceeding from two stationary points of action, 
where the focus meets in the curve, and forms into a 
pyramid. The image of the attitude of the power of 
the two lines strike the curve, from a mirror and re- 
flect back its image from the mechanical point of the 



95 

pyramid.giving harmony and humidity within the cir- 
cle spoken of. And that moment the object of the 
two lines, from the two points secured in the geomet- 
rical or mechanical centre, whether it be grand or 
petty, whether it relates to the astronomical motion 
of the whole compact, or any less issue or compact, 
as the procreation of one animal, the germination of 
one plant or vegetable, or the practical literal gov- 
ernment of the world, or one nation as the issue of 
the practical subdivision, of any one nation, and the 
facilities, such as language and music, as embracing 
all audible animal sound, are biped. And language 
or law being synonymous, and in the hands of wise 
statesmen to express our land mark or relation, in ex- 
istance ; and the musical lyre embracing every thing 
that gives ascent to the oral declaration, or land 
marks, as evidence. And all such evidence of a mu- 
sical nature, in the hand of wise and prudent stew- 
ards, or ecclesiastes, having wisdom so as not to 
squander away the evidence placed in their power 
to prove the eternal duration of things through an 
eternity of eternities. And as I show the nature of 
the law is only to show the land marks for existance. 
the shepherd's duty is the way of existance for eter- 
nal perpetuation. Now if this issue is the doctrine 
of the cross of Jesus Christ, oril a wooden cross, as 
set forth of mine opponent. Judge ye, and return a 
verdict accordingly. A candid enquirer will be en- 
abled to see my metaphors deduced from inspiration 
of God, and profitable. And that the key of all proof 
is mathematical, and that I have endeavored to make 
use of it in the best possible sense, so as not to squan- 
der away its powers of convincing the mind; and at 
the same time that all numbers, or numeral adjec- 
tives, are poetical in there nature. Why? Because 
they give an ascent, or qualify to certain questions 



96 

asked, and put the heretic and scrupulous to flight 
I will give a little illustration of language, or the at- 
titude of it, which will serve for the whole meaning 
of these pyramids angles, or triangles, wheel, screws, 
wedge, and levers, in the whole work, as before cit- 
ed, or written firstly. 'Were you to be raised forty 
feet into the air above the surface of the earth, were 
you to use a certain tone of voice to fill a globe of 
eighty feet in diameter, the sound would fall oblique 
eliptical, filling the globe to every extremity. Or- 
ganize in form of a grand pyramid of the whole circle 
from two dead points within that circle, giving di- 
rection to a complete number of stationary points in 
the form of pyramids, together with the eliptical fig- 
ure or mechanical form of the circles in compact. 
Where the two grand lines meet, form a focus in the 
concave side of the circle spoken of, and form a mir- 
ror of the object of thy mind,and re-echoes,or reflects 
thine intention to the audience,or whoever may be in 
that circle; and when organized in the form of a double 
pyramid or rhombatical, electively producing the ob- 
ject of thy mind whatever, may be the image of it. 
The image of thy mind is reflected in the concave 
side of the circle, where the focus meets, and pro- 
duces the object of thy mind in the centre of the 
arch where you stand. 

Fourthly, music existing from two equilateral lines 
centering to one living point pyramidical. 

Fifthly, language existing between two equilateral 
lines, piercing one living or pyramidical point, so all 
procreation, natural or practical, and all audible 
sound thus and thus organized for action, in the form 
of a double pyramid, the objects or effects between 
two points of the pyramid; I subpoena forth to you 
as so many living witnesses, and say at the same 
time he that is wise is wise for himself; and he that 



97 

that scorns he alone must bear it. And so I make my 
appeal to you, and request a patient hearing in fa- 
vour of it,and also,all the evidence that can be brought 
in competition against it ; and render the things unto 
Cesar which are Cesar's ; and the things unto God 
which are God's. 

And as my whole subject is a system cf metaphy- 
sics, proved by mathematics, I endeavour to make a 
few mathematical inquiries, not because I consider 
them unanswerable, but quite the reverse ; because 
if you look close to the delineation, you will see tbem 
all answered. The object of these questions is only 
to lead the mind into truth, and not to deceive it 
And as my subject is altogether metaphysical, math- 
ematically or poetically provedj give a few illustra- 
tions to qualify the correctness of the system ; so do 
not mistake my inquiry. Is not the solution of the 
questions within themselves? But likethis will not the 
legal solution qualify to the declaration, not only give 
a passive, but an active assent to it. 

If the muzzle of a gun is twelve inches and three- 
eighths across it, how many cubic inches in the ball 
which shall precisely agree with the muzzle. 

If a waggon felloe be one inch and three eighths 
thick, one inch and three fourths deep, and compos- 
es one sixth part of a circle four feet seven eighths 
of an inch, please tell how many cubic inches in the 
felloe ? 

If an equilateral cylinder be twenty feet long ; four 
feet and three fourths of an inch in diameter at the 
one end, and one foot one half and three eighths of 
an inch at the other end, how much cubic measure 
in the tube, or cylinder. 

And if a hogshead be three feet eight inches long, 
two feet two inches and three fourths across the head, 
whose bilge is on a curvity of a circle of eighteen

98 

feet, how much cubic measure within this hogshead; 
suppose it be three fourths of an inch thick ? 

Suppose a tree one hundred feet high, six feet in 
circumference at the but, graduates with a true ta- 
per to a point, what length of line will wind said tree 
from but to tip going round triangular once in three 
feet ? 

Or what length of line will it take to wind the 
above described hogshead, if a line be wound around 
triangular once in three inches from one end to the 
other ? 

The mind of man is spiritual, and must dwell on, or 
feed on spiritual meat. And as the mind of man is dis- 
eased, requires a metaphysician to feed it, and cure it 
of its disease, and restore it to its former health again. 
The corporeal physician can do us no good ; he is as 
a huge heap of dry bones. And as I present this as 
a sort of key, or lexicon, to the work, that the reader 
need not mistake me in my endeavour to give a fair 
expression of my meaning. As this work is intended 
to be metaphrasical, to cure the diseased mind, and 
as my declaration stands metaphrasically declared, 
and legally, or mathematically proved, sol make you 
out the following bill in order to qualify you. The dif- 
ference thei e is as to quantity of declaration and proof, 
so as the curve line is to a straight line, so is the an- 
swer. And as much as the straight line preceeds the 
curve line, in passing from one point to another, so is 
the straight line for the travailing mind, better than 
the curve, as it brings the goods and chatties of the 
mind soonest into market : so by the help of meta- 
phrasical lines show you geometrical lines, that the 
mind will be enabled to pass directly to the object 
bill of definition. Firstly, geometry or law, a ratio 
of quantities. Geometrician, one acquainted with 
the exercise of those quantities, and with their mean 



99 

proportion one of these quantities bear to another. 
Geographical, or metaphysical, the understanding of 
the curve lines such as arches, &c. around geometri- 
cal points, from which geometrical lines are drawn, 
Geometrical are all legal mechanical lines which are 
all straight lines, and geographical, all curves, 
whether metaphysical or corporeal. Geometrical 
lines foretell the distance, because they come across 
the curve, and geographical or metaphysical around. 
So much the advantage the legal geometrician has 
over the musical metaphysician ; so as the body can- 
not exist without the mind, neither can the geome- 
trician without the metaphysician. For the geome- 
trician 6nds base to act on, and the crafty cunning 
hand of the metaphysician lines to act in, that the 
base may be beautified and adorned.
